Georgetown to Make Big Waterfront Improvements, Hosting Meeting This Weekend

Georgetown has big plans for the K Street and Water Street Corridor, and they want the public's input on how to go about it.

The Georgetown Business Improvement District will be holding a public meeting at Georgetown Waterfront Park on Saturday, June 25 from 10 a.m. until noon, according to the Georgetown BID's website.

The meeting will be held near the metal shade awnings as shown in the image above.

The purpose of the meeting is to find a "safe, accessible connection between two of the most popular trails in the region will improve travel for everyone.

"Come see the designs and learn about how the proposed changes will make it easier to walk, bike, drive and play along the waterfront," the statement reads. "The plan includes new bicycle and pedestrian connectivity enhancements that will connect the Capital Crescent and Rock Creek Trails."

The meeting will also include a walking tour to see how conditions can be improved. Officials are asking those who attend the meeting to review the plans for the corridor, which can be found here (PDF).
