I walk my dog there regularly when I want that suburban neighborhood, kids playing in the street, neighbors waving and saying hi kind of feel.

I hope we get some of that DDOT project attention! they do this in fort totten, too. on my street. it’s really weird. the sidewalks run everywhere, except at the end of the streets on Buchanan & Crittenden where they meet Fort Totten drive. no idea why. there are like 30 foot stretches of no sidewalk. there are sidewalks all the way down both streets to North Capital and all along Fort Totten Drive, but not on those little parts. it’s puzzling.

I go down Upshur and turn right on Mathewson right to Rock Creek Park. I've always heard that there is a Rockerfeller residence in Crestwood, but I've never been able to find it. Plus, the Russian Orthodox cathedral right on 17th is such a surprise to see. I love driving through Crestwood, which I often do travleing west out of Petworth.

Significant progress has been made since 2005 and in addition a good chunk of DDOT's stimulus money is dedicated for that purpose this summer -- apparently the city's goal is to eliminate "sidewalk gaps" in the city over the next few years. Interestingly some isolated neighborhoods in Upper NW have fought new sidewalks (I am looking at you Hawthorne!!) -- fortunately the city has not caved to the nimby folks on this issue (thanks largely to ADA and a GREAT city planning dept.).
