The newest Capital Bikeshare station is now open at 34th and K (Water) Streets, NW. Located across from Malmaison Restaurant and near the entrance to the Capital Crescent trail, the new station offers another means of transportation for residents, commuters and visitors in Georgetown.
“With the addition of this station, District Department of Transportation adds another station to the Western side of the District that greatly improves connections between D.C. and Maryland’s Capital Bikeshare networks, as well as providing crucial capacity expansion for the system in Georgetown,” said Will Handsfield, transportation director at the Georgetown Business Improvement District. “With this expansion, residents and employees of the growing Canal District can have confidence that they’ll be able to find a bike or open dock when they need it.”
As a part of the Georgetown 2028 initiative, the Georgetown BID is working with DDOT to alleviate increased automobile traffic by making Georgetown a more bicycle-friendly neighborhood.
With the opening of the new Bikeshare station, Georgetown now has six access stations at Wisconsin Avenue and O Street, NW; 37th and O Streets, NW; Wisconsin Avenue and South Street, NW; 34th and K (Water) Streets, NW; 30th and K Streets, NW; 28th and M Streets, NW. There is also a Bikeshare station, just north of town, at Wisconsin Avenue and Whitehaven Street, NW, in front of the British School and near the Georgetown Safeway.
