Thanks to all who passed on the streateries update from the Adams Morgan BID this morning:
“We are excited to partner with District Department of Transportation, Mayor Bowser, and 33 neighborhood businesses on a new streatery pilot program in #AdamsMorgan (18th St NW between Kalorama and Columbia Rds NW). Demolition of existing streateries is occurring this week and installation of the new structures will begin September 16. Completion of the new streateries will occur on or before September 27.

The new structures will increase the safety, accessibility, and aesthetics of streateries on the corridor. The structures are compliant with the new guidelines for a permanent streatery program and are meant to demonstrate the future of the program! Curbside changes will also be made to increase access and mobility along the corridor. Additional planters with greenery will be added throughout the pilot zone to enhance beautification efforts.
We are very appreciative of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s support to make Adams Morgan’s streateries look their best and function in the safest, most accessible, and friendliest way. Thanks for choosing our neighborhood to showcase the new streatery guidelines. We look forward to having lots more people enjoy world class, diverse dining al fresco in Adams Morgan.
Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to stop by and enjoy the new streateries once installation is complete!”
