Georgetown Healthy Street
Updated June 2025
What's Happening Now?
Georgetown Healthy Street is complete!
This project was completed in June 2025. It includes permanent safety and traffic calming such as speed humps, Healthy Street signs, concrete sign bases, concrete planters, and painted curb bulbs with flexible posts at intersections. The Healthy Street is connected to a larger network of Healthy Streets and Neighborhood Greenways.
If you live on a Healthy Street, you can use your street as a Play Street without applying for a permit! Play Streets can be used to host neighborhood events, like block parties and community dinners, or as a place for kids to play. You can also sign up to recieve a Play on your Healthy Streets Kit.
