The Honorable Rushern L. Baker
Prince George’s County Executive

Upper Marlboro, Maryland 20772
Dear County Executive Baker,
On behalf of the citizens of Greenbelt, we urge you to oppose the proposed Baltimore-Washington Superconducting Maglev Project. Two of the three alignments (J & J-1) for this train currently being considered, run right through our City. The City communicated this opposition to the Maryland Department of Transportation in a letter dated October 24, 2017.
Greenbelt is a National Historic Landmark and planned community with parks, open spaces and recreational amenities. This proposal will have a very destructive impact on valuable environmentally sensitive resources, including the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC), the Patuxent Research Refuge, Greenbelt Forest Preserve and other vital open spaces in our region.
