Prince George’s new general plan places too much emphasis on sprawl
Last year, Prince George’s County planners kicked off a bold effort to revise its general plan and direct most future growth to transit stations inside the Beltway. But a continuing focus on sprawling suburban development on the county’s fringes could thwart those worthy goals.

The Metro Express
Today is the one-year anniversary of Greater Greater Washington’s first transit fantasy maps. One year ago today, I assembled some pie-in-the-sky Metrorail expansion proposals by M.V.
