Like free maps? Or for that matter, like to have a city, taxi-zone, or bicycle trail map of the District that’s accurate and up to date? Well wish no more, the D.C. government is here to meet your every cartographical desire. Via WTOP:

The city is offering free, new maps that are easier to read. To get one call 202-727-1000.

“It’s very friendly on the eyes,” Erik Linden, spokesman for the D.C. Department of Transportation, says of the city street map. “It includes a map of taxi zones, includes a Metrorail map, snow and emergency evacuation routes.”

The city also has a new map of bicycle trails.

“The District now has 25 miles of bicycle lanes, compared to 1999 when the District had three miles of bicycle lanes,” Linden says.

As you’ll recall, the new taxi zone maps included in this announcement were part of Mayor Adrian Fenty’s 200 initiatives in 100 days announcement last month — so after you call and order your free maps, make sure to keep an eye out for the new zone maps when they start popping up in taxis.

UPDATE: Indeed, as pointed out in comments, when we called just now to order our maps, we were directed to call (202) 673-6813. So bypass the mayor’s call center line and call this number directly for your free maps.
