SHOUT OUT: Should a Footbridge Connect North College Park With the Greenbelt Metro Area?
The council meeting discussion, continued.
Several north College Park residents testified at Tuesday's mayor and council meeting against a potential footbridge connecting their neighborhood and the future redeveloped Greenbelt Metro area.
They were concerned about the impact a bridge could have on noise, crime, and the environment. Several also said a bridge built high enough for a train to pass underneath wouldn't fit in with the residential area.
But such a connection would allow for greater access from north College Park to trails and future retail, Councilman Patrick Wojahn (Dist. 1) said.
