Dear PoPville

“We are mystified.”

Update: “This is probably an Arts in the Right of Way project either from DDOT or blessed by DDOT. The paint and flex posts help narrow the roadway, shortening the exposure time for peds in crosswalks, and force vehicles to slow down on residential streets”

“Dear PoPville,

Any idea why DC has spent the past three days painting weird colors on our street? Biltmore St NW near Adams Morgan. We are mystified.”

Ed. Note: I think it’s supposed to provided greater visibility so drivers don’t crash through it. Anyone know if this is a DDOT project?

Are others seeing these paint jobs elsewhere?
