Predecessors The Takoma/Langley Crossroads Preliminary Sector
                                  Plan


A predecessor to the TLC Sector Plan, the 2002 ‘Prince
  George’s County Approved General Plan’ lists one of
  its goals as ‘Maintain traffic volume by encouraging
  alternative forms of transportation’ . This is a theme
  that continues in the TLC Sector Plan
