GGW points out that DC is working on and Adams Morgan/18th Street Transportation Study (Here for more) and highlights the Adams Morgan Crossroads area.
There is also a new bike lane along the segment of Adams Mill between Calvert and 18th/Columbia, and what look like bike boxes on Calvert and Cliffborne. Bike boxes are areas that span the entire street between where cars are supposed to stop and the crosswalk, allowing bicycles to move in front of cars stopped at a light, positioning them to turn safely where the cars can see them.

Previous plans included bike boxes at the intersection of 18th and Columbia and bike lanes on Columbia Road. Looks to that in the latest drawing both have been removed. The bike lanes on Columbia are key. As there is already a small stretch with bike lanes if they dont extend them west to 18th and beyond we'll end up with oprhaned bike lanes.
And David replied
it turns out this particular project is only for the portion of Adams Mill between 18th and Calvert. The lack of bike lanes shown on Columbia doesn't mean there won't be some later (but doesn't mean there will) when they get to redoing the Columbia portion.
My understanding is that 18th will be getting sharrows but not a dedicated lane.
