“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to pop by and give a tip that DPW closed down Mass Ave NW at Rock Creek going into Dupont for snow removal at 8:30 AM this morning. They diverted all traffic onto Rock Creek Parkway. Seems like they could have
picked any other time more convenient for this since the city is running two 12-hour crews for snow and ice removal, and not during rush hour on a Tuesday a week and a half after the snow and ice storm, but what do I know.
Just screaming into the void. Thank you!”
Thanks to Jay, SJ and others for also sending word about cleanups going on Shaw and on H Street, NE last night:

“DDOT Snow Operations at Carter Barron Amphitheater Parking Lot
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is preparing to utilize the Carter Barron Amphitheater parking lot for the temporary storage and disposal of snow removal materials as part of ongoing citywide snow response operations. Operations are expected to begin today as other snow storage locations across the District are reaching capacity.
Access to and from the site will occur via Colorado Avenue NW and Morrow Drive NW. Motorists should anticipate intermittent lane closures and traffic pattern adjustments in the area and are encouraged to proceed with caution, follow posted signage, and remain alert to changing traffic conditions.
Nearby residents should also expect increased truck traffic over the next several days as snow removal operations continue. DDOT appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as crews work to safely and efficiently restore normal conditions across the District.
