Suitland Parkway Trail Extension and Naylor Road Intersection Safety Improvements

The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to extend the Suitland Parkway Trail and implement several intersection improvements to address issues with pedestrian safety and connectivity. A new, 0.4-mile trail segment would be built on the north side of Suitland Parkway, connecting the existing trail on the D.C. side of the Parkway to Naylor Road in Prince George's County, Maryland. The NPS is also considering improvements to enhance safety at the Suitland Parkway and Naylor Road intersection, which has been the site of numerous accidents and pedestrian fatalities. The proposed project would close a gap in the local trail network and provide a safer way for pedestrians and cyclists to reach the Naylor Road Metro Station and local communities.

Suitland Parkway was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 for its association with broad patterns of history and landscape architecture related to the development of the parkway system during the first half of the twentieth century. National Capital Parks - East manages Suitland Parkway as one of its 17 park units.
