An Update on the Cleveland Park Promenade

The DDOT Public Space Committee (PSC) has recently approved several new public space permits for sidewalk cafes along the Cleveland Park promenade, aiming to enhance the community’s dining experience and support local businesses. These permits allow cafes and restaurants to extend their seating areas onto the sidewalks, providing more outdoor dining options while adhering to guidelines for aesthetic appeal and pedestrian flow. This effort is part of a broader revitalization strategy to make Cleveland Park a more dynamic and enjoyable neighborhood for residents and visitors alike.

Cleveland Park has new tree boxes along its streets as part of an effort to enhance the neighborhood’s green spaces. These tree boxes, which provide essential space and nutrients for young trees, contribute to the community’s environmental health and beauty. Residents and businesses are kindly encouraged to occasionally water the trees, as is the practice throughout the District of Columbia and tracked via this dashboard map that many contribute to. An informal group of neighbors has organized to help – more information on that group can be found here. You can also find information from Casey Trees regarding street tree watering and the mission to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy of our nation’s capital.
