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.

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…)
