    Although much of the National Mall has been torn up for the ongoing renovation process, parts of the gravel paths are still open and in place. These run east-west from 14th St. to 3rd St. NW and SW. Many people walk or run along these wide paths. Some also bike, although the gravel surface is not ideal for skinny road bike tires. Capital Bikeshare bikes work, at slower speeds. These paths lie in between Madison Drive NW and Jefferson Drive SW.

    . . . These were named Madison Drive, Washington Drive, Adams Drive and Jefferson Drive.. . .

    . . .Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive remain as standard paved roads.

    It bothers me for some reason that they wouldn’t run in order W-A-J-M, I guess they did an alternating South, North, inside/outside pattern around the theoretical West Capital street.
