Washington Avenue Social Distancing Plan
Following close coordination and planning with the Washington Avenue Business Improvement District (BID), the city has developed a plan to partially close Washington Avenue to vehicular traffic and create a pedestrian and bicycle boulevard that meets the needs of the community, businesses and visitors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Beginning this week, the city will re-stripe portions of Washington Avenue to better assist restaurants with outside seating needs. The traffic pattern on Washington Avenue between 5 - 16 streets will be reduced to one lane in each direction.
Restaurants can expand using the existing sidewalks and parking lanes. This measure will also activate additional space for walkers, joggers, cyclists, skaters and other outdoor activities.
