Get active, both outside and in. Take a meaningful walk to learn about Gaithersburg, collect bike data, or have some impromptu fun in Farragut Park. Then, chime in on conversations about Columbia Pike, Prince George’s Metro, and development around Union Station.
Get out in Gaithersburg: Historic Gaithersburg has big plans for a transit-oriented and walkable future. Join the Coalition for Smarter Growth for a walking tour this Saturday, May 2, to explore and learn about the community’s progress. Make sure to RSVP!
After the jump: future of Columbia Pike, peds at Prince George’s Plaza Metro, input on Union Station, and more…
Future of Columbia Pike: With the Columbia Pike Streetcar cancelled, what’s next for the corridor? The Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization is hosting a panel of community leaders to answer questions about the future of Columbia Pike on April 30 at the Salsa Room on Columbia Pike. The reception starts at 6 pm and the panel is at 6:45 pm. RSVP today.
Walkable Metro: Right now, it’s hard to imagine a walkable East-West Highway at Prince George’s Plaza Metro. But a new transit district development plan could get us there. Join the conversation at a Community Open House this Tuesday, April 28, from 5 pm to 8pm at Prince George’s Plaza Community Center at 6600 Adelphi Road in Hyattsville.
Bicycle counts: Ever wondered how many people ride bikes in Alexandria? The city needs volunteers to help find out. The Alexandria Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is conducting counts on Thursday, May 7 (5-7 pm) and Saturday, May 9 (12-2 pm). Be sure to sign up if you can help!
Fun in Farragut: Need more outdoor activities this summer? Starting this Friday, May 1, join the Golden Triangle BID for Farragut Fridays, a free-all-day, all-summer event at Farragut Park that includes a pop-up outdoor office, “Picnic in the Park” with lawn games and live music, and outdoor movies. For a full listing of events and movies, check out the website.
