Visitor & Driver Tips
Chestnut Street is a relatively calm one-way/two-way local connector; drivers should slow down when approaching from Wisconsin Avenue to ensure they do not miss the driveway turn-in. During weekday morning and evening rush hours, traffic on Wisconsin Avenue can build quickly, so allowing an extra 5 to 10 minutes for your commute is recommended. Always verify posted signage regarding active permit enforcement hours or mobile parking zone numbers prior to leaving your vehicle.
