Say hello to the Rhode Island Avenue protected bikeway, the first in Prince George’s County. It’s only 250 feet long and it only covers 1/3 of a block, but it’s a start!

The protected lane is part of the larger College Park Trolley Trail. For most of its length the Trolley Trail runs either off-street or as normal on-street bike lanes. But for this short segment in front of Hollywood Shopping Center, a concrete barrier makes it a legit, if short, protected bikeway.

As far as I know, it’s the first protected bikeway in Prince George’s County.

Welcome to the club, Prince George’s!
