<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Metro is inviting the public to provide feedback on proposed changes to transit facilities on the east side of the College Park-U of MD Metrorail Station as part of a proposed
transit-oriented joint development project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Metro is considering the redevelopment of the Park & Ride surface lot into a multifamily residential building with ground floor retail. The plan includes removing the approximately
five acre surface commuter lot on the east side of the station. In anticipation of this project, the State of Maryland and Prince George's County financed the construction of the 1,290-space Park & Ride garage that opened in 2005 to replace and expand the
number of spaces that would be displaced from the proposed project. The joint development project would be constructed by a private developer and is anticipated to include two buildings with approximately 430 residential units with ground floor retail and
enhancements to the stream area next to the station as an environmental amenity and pedestrian plaza.
