From the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Schwalb today announced the resolution of an investigation into Lyft concerning its failure to provide proper notice to consumers about fines the company imposed when scooters were parked improperly. Under the terms of a settlement agreement, Lyft will provide full restitution and return nearly $90,000 to affected scooter users. Lyft will also pay $20,000 to the District and has already made changes to its systems to ensure users are notified about DC’s scooter parking rules and notified of any fines imposed for parking violations.

“Dear PoPville,
When 9th Street was restriped/redone a couple of years ago, near the Convention Center at K/New York Avenue the lanes south shifted, creating a parking area for cars/taxis at L Street by the Marriott Marquis. Previously, there was a taxi stand/waiting area at the corner of K Street, but that was eliminated as it was blocking traffic going south and creating a bottleneck. Then, sometime later a new sign was added, putting the taxi stand back, which to no surprise, again created a bottleneck that was, during rush hour blocks long as two lanes needed to merge to one specifically and only because of the location of the taxi stand. I noticed this week those signs were again eliminated and only the no parking sign (pictured) was present, but that cones from the construction across the street were put in place, blocking a lane, plus taxi cabs are parking where this sign is, illegally.

“Dear PoPville,
The situation: I got a parking ticket in April in Foggy Bottom for legally parking and paying with Parkmobile (there was almost a half hour left on my reservation). In fact, the parking officer ticketed EVERY car on BOTH sides of the street. No construction, no street sweeping, all parked within the posted hours. There was plainly some kind of technical (or officer) error. I appealed, Read More
“Dear PoPville,
Weird one…somebody (no idea who) put up reserved parking moving signs on my street, using my address and first name (though last name and phone number are different). Should I report it to…DOB?”
“Dear PoPville,
And here’s a new one…just spotted this one in Adams Morgan and it comes with a pad lock to keep the cover locked down over the plates and makes it impossible to remove!”
