The Morning Metropolitan

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

  • DDOT planning to refurbish O and P streets (where the streetcar tracks are) next year. Will that mean a decision on the tracks?
  • Staying on the transportation theme: 30th St. bridge over the canal closes today for reconstruction. It’ll be closed for roughly one year.

Google Map Confusion Continues

As described last week, Google can’t seem to decide whether Dumbarton is a street or an avenue. But at least there’s a historical explanation for the confusion. So can someone please explain why Google thinks that P St. extends from Foxhall Village through Archbold Parkway to Georgetown University?

Google Map Confusion

Is it a remnant of some ancient P St. version of the Klingle Valley Rd. controversy? (This isn’t a reflection of the streetcar trestle, by the way. That’s a lot close to Foxhall Rd.).

Gunshots on P?

Speaking of crime, there were reports buzzing around the Georgetown listserv today about gunshots and/or fireworks being heard around P and 31st St around 11:00 last night. There was even a report of screeching tires. GM has seen small fireworks shot off in that part of Georgetown before, which could be mistaken for gunshots and screeching tires. But this isn’t exactly fireworks season. Anyone have anything more to report?
