While the Arts District is identified as a destination it does not have any easy access other than by car (which requires parking). One must currently take two buses from the Prince George County Metro station, or take the #13 bus, which takes approximately 30 minutes (picks up every 40 min. at the W.H. Metro station). Walking takes approximately 15-20 minutes through low density residential neighborhoods. Please consider partnering to introduce a circulatory-type shuttle/bus system that connects the two metro stations, the Arts District, and the Riverdale Station with Whole Foods, in one system. This will draw more audiences from DC out to our local destinations (restaurants, arts events, Riverdale's farmers market, WF, mall, etc.).
