Kenilworth Ave to get sidewalks, bike lanes: A one-mile section of Kenilworth Avenue in Edmonston will be modified to make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists, adding sidewalks and bike lanes to both sides of the street. Yet designers have only said they will "try to accommodate" the town's request to include crosswalks at every intersection. How hard can it be? (Post) (Comment)

Greenmonston: The town of Edmonston, just off Route 1 near DC in Prince George's County, will renovate it's main street into a cutting-edge, environmentally sustainaable and pedestrian friendly design. The street will treat 90% of the pollution that washes into the Anacostia River from Edmonston streets each year. The Mayor of Edmonston, Adam Ortiz, has an LBJ poster in his office that reads, "Let's keep building the Great Society." (Post, Bianchi) (Comment)
