The Adams Morgan Streetscape Project includes the 18th Street corridor from Florida Avenue to Columbia Road in Adams Morgan. This project is the result of several years of planning, preliminary engineering, and public outreach focused on pedestrian, transportation, and landscaping improvements.

The goal of the project is to provide transportation, pedestrian, and bicycle safety improvements as well as streetscape enhancements to the 18th Street corridor in the Adams Morgan neighborhood while minimizing impacts to local residents and businesses along the corridor.
