Central Kenilworth Avenue Revitalization Community Development (CKAR CDC). It began in 2007 with a neighbor asking for help to revitalize Kenilworth Avenue between River Road to the north and Edmonston Road to the south.
The neighborhood was the unincorporated community of Templeton Knolls – backed by the Town of Riverdale Park, the Eastpines and Riverdale Heights Community Associations, and the Neighborhood Design Center with help from the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities Program, actions to pursue revitalization initiatives began.
The request resulted in a collaborative community planning process to strategically deal with pressing issues in the corridor. The result was a meticulous action plan for revitalization of the corridor.
