of course, reading this, it's interesting to note that they consider the project extent to run from dupont circle to 13th street. shouldn't they just say dupont circle to logan circle? 13th and p never really meet...unless they're going to pave right up to general logan's statue... ;)
seriously though, it's going to be nice to see the potholes and rough sidewalks go away, especially between logan circle and 15th street. i'm just surprised that they're doing this before the work is done on the new condos at the corner of 15th and p.

I pray to god they don't take as long as the have with Q Street.
agreed, chris. i was looking at their "3 month schedule", and it got me thinking about how q street was supposed to be done AGES ago, and that project just crawls along. every time ddot promises something, i think it's safe to double the time. they're just not good with timeliness.
You'll see this finished in July, if at all. Just in time for the summer crime spike!
The Metropole at the corner of P and 15th will be under construction for the duration of the P St. repave. I'd be unhappy if they continue to fence off the street and sidewalk for their equipment/supplies while the DDOT work is going on. I'll also be cheesed if they destroy a new surface with their construction equipment. They and other developers have already made a disaster out of Church St.
