| Adams Morgan to Celebrate Ribbon Cutting Ceremony - "Rediscover Adams Morgan" |
On Friday, July 27th, Adams Morgan will celebrate the completion of the 18th Street Streetscape project that remade the 18th Street NW commercial corridor between Columbia Road and Florida Avenue. DC Mayor Vincent C. Gray along with Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham will join business owners and residents to commemorate the largest public investment ever made in Adams Morgan. This ambitious project is one of the most complex and all-inclusive streetscapes accomplished in a dense commercial area. The visible improvements are wider aggregate sidewalks, safer crosswalks with bulb-outs, new granite curbs and trees, bike racks, and brighter streetlights. Less visible but important upgrades are all new electrical conduits, high pressure gas and water services, and storm sewers. The end result is a commercial area integrated with the residential area that is safer and more pedestrian-friendly. Overall, Adams Morgan is now a better place to live, visit, eat, shop, play and do business.
