From the office of Councilmember Charles Allen:
“DC Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) introduced emergency legislation to make immediate changes to the cost and design restrictions for DDOT’s streateries rules, with the goal of ensuring streateries remain a viable tool for restaurants and an opportunity to enliven street life. The Council will vote on the legislation on Tuesday, Dec. 2. (more…)

“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…)
