“How would one even go about getting these ramps replaced?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Maybe you can get some attention to a small but irritating issue. Where Vermont Ave NW ends and leads into the White House grounds there is an access point for bikes at the security kiosk. This access allows bikes to come from the 15th st bike lane, enter PA Ave, and meet up with the NY Ave bike lanes.

“DC Water Announces Upcoming Changes to Miscellaneous Fees & Charges”

By Prince Of Petworth

From DC Water:

“Beginning October 1, 2025, DC Water is making changes to miscellaneous fees and charges to improve transparency, streamline operations, and ensure that fees more accurately reflect the cost of services provided to customers.

These fees help DC Water recover the cost of services that go beyond regular water and sewer usage – like reviewing construction plans, installing or disconnecting water taps, inspections, expedited service requests, meter relocation, and other fees.

The new fee structure includes adjustments to existing charges and introduces several new fees that support customer service, permitting, and operational activities. Many fees will also shift from a reimbursable cost model to a fixed fee structure for many services, making it easier to understand costs upfront and offering greater predictability for businesses, contractors, and homeowners. Fixed fees simplify billing and reduce administrative delays, particularly for development and construction projects.

Source Theatre located at 1835 14th Street, NW via CulturalDC

From CulturalDC:

“By now, you have likely learned that on August 5, 2025, CulturalDC completed the sale of Source to a qualified buyer for $4.5 million. The building, which had been on the market since October 2024, was sold after a competitive and proactive process in which the Board of Directors tirelessly solicited and prioritized bids from nonprofit organizations with the goal of sustaining the space for DC’s arts and cultural community.

Once news of the sale became public, unfortunately, we started to see false and biased reporting, as well as conversations and criticisms expressed on online platforms that cannot be categorized as anything less than vitriol and bullying. Over recent days, the spread of misinformation and actions taken against our organization have become too egregious for leadership to leave unaddressed.

In particular, the Washington City Paper published an unfounded and editorialized article regarding the sale of Source – without conducting due diligence, in terms of fact-checking or allowing CulturalDC to speak to the various erroneous accusations. Following a request for corrections, the City Paper has made only minor edits, allowing factual errors; and misleading statements to persist. The very vocal parties serving as unreliable sources with the press – and across social media channels – continue to perpetuate a distorted narrative.

For accuracy, the Board believes it is prudent to clarify the sequence of events leading up to the sale of Source: (more…)
