“Dear PoPville,
What is the current timeline on DC’s digital license timeline? We’re now behind roughly a dozen states and I couldn’t find any update over the past two years. Any tips on how to advocate for this is also helpful.“

“Dear PoPville,
Over the summer as part of the installation of bike lanes on 11th Street NW in downtown, DDOT and DPW inexplicably removed disabled parking spaces on the north and south sides of the 1000 block of F Street NW, where no bike lanes were added. They moved the “no parking” signs so that the disabled spaces are now in no parking zones. Except they left the red disabled-only parking meters, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I think space hogs are terrible, but I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe a car that was parked in front or behind them forced them to now take up two spaces.
But every day, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Over the last couple of years Bruce Monroe park has become a pole of attraction for drugs and crime. Last year, the play area was vandalized. This year, the fence has been taken down already twice, presumably to obtain access after hours (see picture above). There is always a lot of trash scattered on the ground. It is not unusual to see people using drugs, and a few months ago someone died of overdose.

“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,
In my alley, there is a large single story building (not a house) with more than a dozen padlocked storage units. Over the past several months several units have been broken into, with items stolen and bulk trash (and property) left in the alley. This cycle repeats after several alley cleanings. The storage facility owner is (as best we can tell) non responsive- some theorize that he is moved away or unable to take care of the property. The facility remains unsecured and additional units are broken into every few weeks. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
