Wikipedia Description: Georgia Avenue–Petworth station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georgia Avenue-Petworth is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C., on the Green Line and Yellow Line.

Location

Georgia Avenue–Petworth station is located at the border of the neighborhoods of Petworth, Sixteenth Street Heights, and Park View in Northwest.
Transit-oriented development

Like many other Washington Metro stations, Georgia Avenue-Petworth has catalyzed nearby development. The District of Columbia Office of Planning has divided development proposals into four localities near the station:

Park View. Composed of three blocks along Georgia Avenue south of the station — 3200 West, 3400 East, and 3500 East — Park View development is mainly limited by a 50-foot (15 m) height limit to infill residential or four- to six-story mixed-use development.
Pleasant Plains. Further south, sites at 2700 West and 2900 West on Georgia Avenue are also subject to the low height restriction but with more emphasis on apartments and row houses.
Petworth-Metro. To the north, this is the largest neighborhood by sites available and height, with a restriction of 65 ft (20 m). It contains a series of blocks on Georgia Avenue from Princeton Place to Shepherd Street, with the 3700 West block already developed as Park Place, containing 148 condos and 17,000 sq ft (1,579 m2) of street-level retail space.
Upshur. The northernmost of the four regions, it is centered on Upshur Street near Kansas Avenue. As with Pleasant Plains, the Planning Office has focused on residential development for Upshur.

History

Georgia Avenue-Petworth opened on September 18, 1999, as part of a connecting extension of the Green Line between U Street and Fort Totten, allowing trains to travel between Anacostia and Greenbelt.

The station's west entrance closed on December 11, 2006, to accommodate construction of a mixed-use development. Bus stops, bike racks, and lockers were moved, and the entran ...More...

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. Trump's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here. As the chant goes -- Hey, hey, POTUS-A; how many folks did you kill today? The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
