“18th STREET LOOKS FANTASTIC WITHOUT STREETERIES.!!!! But DDOT and the BID plan to build new ones this week Many(most?) businesses do no want them
Even with those ugly Beirut Barriers still in place, it was so refreshing to see our beautiful, historic street for the first time since Covid over the weekend
But BEWARE!…. (more…)
From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced PARK(ing) Day 2024 will be held on Friday, September 20 from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The popular event temporarily converts on-street parking spaces into pop-up parks allowing people to visualize and explore alternative uses for curb space. Since 2013, the success of this event has led to the creation of more permanent public space activation programs, such as DDOT’s Parklet Program and Streatery Program.
In tandem with PARK(ing) Day, DDOT is installing new streatery structures in Adams Morgan on 18th Street NW between Columbia Road and Kalorama Road, in partnership with the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District (AMPBID) and 33 small businesses. (more…)
