“Dear PoPville,
Sharing a scary interaction with a driver that apparently has a lot of anger towards cyclists. Curious if anyone else has had this experience. I was on my bike around 545am when the driver became very hostile toward me.

Thanks to DJ for sending: “the 8th St. NE extension of the MBT from Dew Drop to Brookland Pint is almost done. Cars only northbound now and they are starting to paint the bike lanes and parking spots.”
“Dear PoPville,
I saw you post a while back about the status of bike lanes around Hanes Point, so I wanted to share that the project has been completed. As advertised, it’s dedicated one lane of space to pedestrian/cycle lanes going both directions and a buffer (without barriers) to the remaining vehicular lane.
On the whole I’d say it’s a step up from before, though certainly not perfect. (more…)
Thanks to Brent for sending from the 17th Street bike lane. Oof.

“Dear PoPville,
he scene on the 3600 block of 14th St NW in Columbia Heights (between Perry Pl and Spring Rd). I have not heard yet what happened. A passerby asked one of the police officers and the response was simply: “car accident.” The block has been shut down to traffic since at least 0800 this morning, Saturday 29 July, 2023. As of 1015 they have opened the sidewalk on the west side of the street to pedestrians.
There is at least one bicycle in a heavily damaged state. A person’s shoe remains behind near the bicycle in the road. (more…)
