"Over the last few years, Prince George’s County has increased its attention to better walking and bicycling environments, and building green streets. The county still has a long way to go, but plans and projects for complete and green streets are moving forward, with some results on the ground. What will it take for Prince George’s to offer more communities safe and convenient walking and bicycling? When will all Metro stations have safe and easy walk and bike access?
