Corridor Identified for Improvements in Statewide Pedestrian Safety Action Plan

(April 21, 2025) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a public informational workshop, 5 - 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, to provide information and gather community input on proposed pedestrian safety improvements along the MD 414 (St. Barnabas Road) corridor between Virginia Lane and Clifton Road in Prince George's County. The informational workshop will be held at Barnaby Manor Elementary School, 2411 Owens Road, Oxon Hill.

The State Highway Administration's Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, published in May 2023, identifies areas of need and prioritizes corridors for pedestrian and bicycle safety projects. Safety improvements are planned for the MD 414 corridor in Prince George's County as part of the State Highway Administration's commitment to a safe and accessible transportation network for all users, including pedestrians and bicyclists.

At this informational workshop, State Highway Administration staff will be available to discuss project proposals. There will be no formal presentation. Attendees may arrive at any time during the workshop to view displays, ask questions and provide feedback. Materials also will be posted on the Project Portal page.

Those requiring assistance to participate in the workshop, such as those seeking an interpreter for hearing/speech difficulties or assistance with the English language, may email SHATitleVI@mdot.maryland.gov in advance of the event. Please indicate the desired language in the subject line. Maryland Relay Service can assist teletype users at 7-1-1.

Questions about the workshop or general inquiries may be directed to Project Manager Dorey Uong, at duong@mdot.maryland.gov or Community Relations Manager Carm Saimbre at CSaimbre@mdot.maryland.gov.

The Pedestrian Safety Action Plan is a key component of the Maryland Department of Transportation's Complete Streets Policy, which prioritizes safe, reliable, equitable and sustainable travel across all modes to make roads safer and connect Marylanders to jobs, education and economic opportunity. Projects under the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan also support Maryland's Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries on state roadways by 2030.
