Parking restrictions are in place until 6 a.m. in Georgetown, and more could be implemented if necessary.
Hundreds of ghouls, ghosts and goblins will pack Georgetown’s streets tonight. But if you plan on joining the neighborhood-wide costume party, you may want to leave the car at home.
Parking restrictions and road closures will make driving through Georgetown a frightening ordeal starting around 4:00 this afternoon. K and M Streets and areas along Wisconsin Avenue will have parking restrictions until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Many side streets will also be closed, with an exception of residents and employees at local shops. They include 27th through 34th Streets along with N, O and P Streets. Those streets will close at 6:30 tonight and reopen around 3:00 a.m.
Police say they may close additional streets depending on the crowd size. They recommend using public transportation to get to the monster bash.
