“green Street” Coming To Bladensburg

[Bicentennial Commission] The Town of Bladensburg is developing a “Green Street”  for a 0.6-mile section of the Route 450/Annapolis Road corridor to prepare for the upcoming bicentennial commemoration.

This road overlaps part of the route of British troops during the Battle of Bladensburg.  Several sites clustered along the proposed “Green Street” – including the Bostwick House, Magruder House and Market Masters House – were significant locations during the summer of 1814.

The project incorporates permeable surfaces, energy efficient lighting and advanced storm water management due to the proximity of the roadway to the Anacostia Watershed. It will also provide future jobs and support economic development for Bladensburg.
