Hyattsville Crossing station

Hyattsville Crossing station is a Washington Metro station in Hyattsville, Maryland, on the Green Line. It opened on December 11, 1993, as Prince George's Plaza, referencing the nearby Prince George's Plaza, now known as The Mall at Prince Georges. The station has a unique layout in that it is an open-cut side platformed station with a parking garage directly over the tracks.

History
The station is located in a commercial area of Hyattsville near The Mall at Prince Georges, which, before receiving its second name in November 2004, was called Prince George's Plaza, at East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410) and Belcrest Road. Service began on December 11, 1993.

Originally, only Green Line trains served the station and ran between Fort Totten and Greenbelt. Eventually, this segment of the Green Line was connected with the rest of the Green Line in September 1999.

Rush hour Yellow Line trains began operating at this station on June 12, 2012, operating between Greenbelt and Franconia–Springfield or Huntington. However, this service was discontinued on June 25, 2017, because of budget cuts.

In May 2018, Metro announced an extensive renovation of platforms at twenty stations across the system. The platforms at the Greenbelt station would be rebuilt starting on May 29, 2021, through September 6, 2021.

In November 2020, WMATA approved a request from Prince George's County to change the name of the former Prince George's Plaza station to Hyattsville Crossing, despite survey results noting people prefer the name Prince George's Plaza due to the station being located in Prince George's County and in relation to The Mall at Prince Georges while being situated within a plaza-like area. The new name took effect on September 11, 2022.

Since May 7, 2023, the northeastern terminus of the Yellow Line was truncated from Greenbelt to Mount Vernon Square, following its reopening after a nearly eight-month-long major rehabilitation project on its bridge over the Potomac River and its tunnel leading into L'Enfant Plaza. Thus, it no longer services this station.

From July 22 to September 4, 2023, this station will be closed to improve rail system technologies, closing stations north of Fort Totten.

Station layout
The station is located at the southwest corner of the East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410) and Belcrest Road intersection. The platform level is in an open-cut below ground level, containing two side platforms for each direction. This station has no canopy. Instead, a multilevel parking garage sits directly above the station and includes multiple taxi and bus stops. and a small surface parking lot on the side. Stairs and escalators lead from the ground level to the platform level. The station is surrounded by commercial and residential development, with pedestrian walkways leading to each. A pedestrian walkway immediately travels underneath the commercial development to the north and then over East-West Highway, connecting directly into The Mall at Prince Georges. A Capital Bikeshare rental station sits at the northeast side of the station, opposite the station's eastern roundabout entrance.
