A look at a few of the important events in Riverdale Park this week.

This week in Riverdale Park there are not one but two meetings residents won't want to miss. 

What: Special Legislative Session
When: 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15
Where: Riverdale Park Town Hall
Preview: The number one item on the agenda for Tuesday's legislative session is a motion regarding the Cafritz development's Preliminary Plan of Subdivision. The plan is slated to go before the Prince George's County Planning Board on Thursday, but the Riverdale Park Town Council still has several outstanding issues with the plan as written. The two main sticking points are the location and funding for the proposed CSX bridge and the placement of the hiker/biker trail along the historic trolley line.

What:Town Hall Youth and Community Wing Public Meeting
When: 7:30 p.m. Jan. 16
Where: Riverdale Park Town Hall

A Spanish language translator will be present at the meeting.
