Special Places Gridlock Circulator Downtown DC BID is working with the city to implement a physical improvement program that includes brighter and more attractive new street lights, a top quality signage and wayfinding system, upgraded sidewalks, new street furniture and landscaping. New streetscapes and uses for public places like markets and sidewalk cafe will also be developed to make downtown vibrant throughout the day and into the evening. Since the founding of the District of Columbia, F Street has been the city's commercial heart and remains the oldest retail street in Washington. As far back as 1801, F Street was leading the District's commercial development.
History is about to repeat itself.
