A Yellow Line train arrives at the Georgia Avenue-Petworth station in September, 2022.

Georgia Avenue–Petworth station is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C., on the Green Line. It is located at the border of the neighborhoods of Petworth, Sixteenth Street Heights, and Park View in Northwest.

History

It opened on September 18, 1999, part of an extension of the Green Line that connected Шаблон:Wmata and Шаблон:Wmata, allowing trains to travel between Шаблон:Wmata and Шаблон:Wmata.

The station's west entrance closed on December 11, 2006, to accommodate construction of a mixed-use development. Bus stops, bike racks, and lockers were moved, and the entrance remained closed until 2009, a year later than planned.[1]

Like many other Metro stations, Georgia Avenue–Petworth has catalyzed nearby development. The District of Columbia Office of Planning has divided development proposals near the station into four localities:

  • Park View. Composed of three blocks along Georgia Avenue south of the station—3200 West, 3400 East, and 3500 East—Park View development is mainly limited by a Шаблон:Convert height limit to infill residential or four- to six-story mixed-use development.[2]Шаблон:Rp
  • Pleasant Plains. Further south, sites at 2700 West and 2900 West on Georgia Avenue are also subject to the low height restriction but with more emphasis on apartments and row houses.[2]Шаблон:Rp
  • Petworth-Metro. To the north, this is the largest neighborhood by sites available and height, with a restriction of Шаблон:Convert. It contains a series of blocks on Georgia Avenue from Princeton Place to Shepherd Street, with the 3700 West block already developed as Park Place, containing 148 condos and Шаблон:Convert of street-level retail space.[2]Шаблон:Rp
  • Upshur. The northernmost of the four regions, it is centered on Upshur Street near Kansas Avenue. As with Pleasant Plains, the Planning Office has focused on residential development for Upshur.[2]Шаблон:Rp

Since May 7, 2023, the northeastern terminus of the Yellow Line was truncated from Greenbelt to Шаблон:Wmata, following its reopening after a nearly eight-month-long major rehabilitation project on its bridge over the Potomac River and its tunnel leading into Шаблон:Wmata. Thus, it no longer services this station.[3]

Station layout

The station has an island platform located below New Hampshire Avenue, with street-level access from the intersection with Georgia Avenue.
