[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the last week for the streatery? Any official word that it’s coming down?

The new streatery regulations were finally published in the DC register in May, and there was a public-comment period that ended June 2. I have no idea if the new regulations have been finalized or not, but DDOT said restaurant owners could start applying for public space permits on March 30. Based on my reading of the new regulations, which can be found at the link below under "view text," the Rosemary's streatery violates numerous provisions in the new regulations:

-- Fully enclosing a Streatery

-- Locating a streatery in a rush-hour-restricted travel lane

-- Locating a streatery on a road with a functional classification designation of Principal Arterial, as Connecticut Avenue is designated

The Washingtonian article from last October clearly states that the Rosemary's streatery is in violation of the new regulations and will have to be dismantled by July, and the restaurant owner said he would comply with the rules.
