Weigh In on Riverdale Road Purple Line Station
Planning officials are hosting a public forum Wednesday evening at Beacon Heights Elementary.
Wednesday evening marks another opportunity for neighbors of the proposed Riverdale Road/Beacon Heights Purple Line station to weigh in on the project.
Representatives from the Prince George's County Planning Department will be on hand at (6929 Furman Pkwy.) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to discuss the future of transit-oriented development along the Purple line corridor and in the Riverdale Road area specifically.
The Beacon Heights station is one of three stops along the 16-mile light rail located in the Riverdale area. Two others—one at Kenilworth Avenue, the other at the University of Maryland's M Square Research Park—fall in Riverdale Park proper.
