Streatery Guidance

The Georgetown BID obtained DDOT Streatery permits in response the COVID-19 emergency and need for a strong recovery. The Georgetown Decks along M Street, Wisconsin Avenue and some side streets accommodate and/or enable the following:

• Social distancing for pedestrians on expanded sidewalks
• Vibrant outdoor dining
• Safer conditions waiting for buses
• Loading zones and pick-up/drop-off zones for visitors
• More bike and scooter parking to keep sidewalks clear

The Streatery permit will likely run as long as COVID-19 remains a public health threat, and beyond.

For any business to use the Streatery curb lane / Georgetown Decks space, the following steps must be completed:

• Read all BID and DDOT regulations and sign the Georgetown Streatery Use Agreement (see below)
• Participate in a Streatery 101 course provided by the BID
• Provide the BID-required documentation, including the signed agreement. Contact the BID’s Streatery project management team at Streatery@georgetowndc.com for details.

If you are a BID-member business and are interested in a Streatery, or already have one, please refer to the following resources, guidelines, and user agreements:
