“Dear PoPville,
Would be so cool if you started keeping track of who’s planning to close their streateries on Nov 1 (or really, I guess a list of what few will remain).
They’re key to the Adams Morgan, Mt Pleasant, and Georgetown corridors (among others) and I and a lot of other people are only waking up to how they’re just going to disappear (and probably tip even more restaurants into closing).
WJLA reported:
“In Adams Morgan, which currently has 33 streateries, only three plan to continue under the new rules. In Georgetown, just 10 of 67 streateries would meet the updated requirements. Restaurants must also comply with safety and accessibility standards and pay a public space fee, roughly $20 per square foot, depending on location.” (more…)
What the what. A reader shared some scuttlebutt about the streateries and now an ANC rep has confirmed it:
“The Adams Morgan BID told us on the February ANC 1C meeting that the Mayor unexpectedly decided to suspend the program. It sounds like that means the current streateries stay in place, but any modifications a business wants to make (including for heating etc) can’t happen for the foreseeable future. (more…)

From Madam’s Organ owner Bill Duggan:
“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…)
Thanks to Charlie for sending from Adams Morgan: “I haven’t seen enterprise Rideshare for a while.”

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…)
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.
