[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a local neighbor living about three blocks away off Connecticut.

I wish instead of trying to take Rosemary’s Streetery down, we would instead find other ways to add more streeteries from the other neighboring businesses. Other parts of the city with more congested streets have successfully done this, including the 9th Street corridor, 18th street corridor, 14th street corridor, and M street in Georgetown. [b]You will be surprised how adaptable cars, people, and neighborhoods are to the structures, even when the road is a major throughfare[/b]. The Streetery actually slows down traffic, creates more of a walkable neighborhood, and deepens the bond of the local community.

I do think Rosemary’s could benefit from a bit of a cosmetic facelift on its streetery, just as a preference. Some of these Streetery restaurants have done really amazing things with the structures- like Le Diplomat on 14th Street or Unconventional Diner on 9th. But let’s imagine a commercial corridor, that’s walkable, creates a strong sense of community and is visually beautiful. The streeteries in other parts of the city have whole corridors of outside dining that have helped their businesses thrive, even post pandemic. [/quote]

Meaning that a lot of commuter traffic will just divert into residential neighborhood streets and closer to playgrounds and schools like Murch.[/quote]

It's great that adaptable means that tourists and waitstaff are constantly colliding. Is that what you mean by adaptable? Saw it all down 9th street. [/quote]
