Project Description: The project includes a 10-foot wide, 0.4-mile extension of the Suitland trail to improve nonmotorized visitor access and safety from the current trail terminus close to Southern Avenue to the Naylor Road Metro station. The asphalt trail along Suitland Parkway is generally 10 feet from the edge or the road with a vehicular guard rail between the trail and the road. Along Naylor Road the trail will be concrete and is located on the back of curb with a guard rail between the walk and the slope down to the stream. Under Southern Avenue SE, the trail will be split into an 8-foot-wide path with a stone guardwall at the edge of the road and a 5-foot-wide toe-walk to the north of the bridge columns. The District of Columbia welcome sign will be shifted away from the road to connect the proposed trail to the existing multi-use trail. Drainage is updated to allow water to flow under the trail through a series of curb inlets and bridging slabs. Compensatory stormwater management facilities will be constructed withing the on-and-off ramps for Branch Avenue and Suitland Parkway.

Suitland Parkway and Naylor intersection Improvements include the removal of the right-turn slip lanes and refuge islands, reconfiguration of high visibility crosswalks, intersection lighting improvements, passive pedestrian detection, signal phasing alternatives requiring new signal equipment, and context-sensitive pedestrian channelization elements. Prepare to Stop Advanced Warning Beacons are added on the west and east bound lanes approximate 1500 feet from the Naylor intersection. The project will require maintenance of traffic to ensure that access can be complete while allowing vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
