“Dear PoPville,

It seems 14th Street NW between Park and Monroe is going to be torn up soon for an extended water project. I thought this was all done during the major Columbia Heights water, street and sidewalk project in 2010-2011, but apparently not. Because, you know, DC wouldn’t want us to get spoiled with a smooth street. I realize funds may not have been available at the time, but it seems wasteful to dig up 14th Street so soon after completing it.”
