Adams Morgan debuts ‘pedestrian zone’ on a rainy Sunday
in 2017, said Kristen Barden, the executive director of the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District.“Ideally we’d like to do this for a whole weekend, not just for one day,” Barden said.
The District announced it would close part of 18th Street between Kalorama and Columbia roads in June 2020, and it turned out to be a success. The street was buzzing with people, and businesses said they served more customers than typical on a weekend, Barden said. But neighbors complained about the lack of social distancing and masking, and it didn’t happen again.On Sunday, dump trucks and D.C.
“I wish it were regular,” Canby said, adding that the zone made it so much easier to notice shops she hadn’t paid attention to. She had just finished eyeing a vintage shop that usually looked closed, and she was now contemplating a visit later in the afternoon. Katherine Hamilton and Alexis Marston, both 24, had both walked down 18th Street on Saturday night, but they were back again Sunday so Marston could get a tattoo. Neither knew in advance that the street was a pedestrian zone.The area will be a designated pedestrian zone again on Sept. 4 and Oct. 23, though organizers hope to add more dates, Barden said.
