From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser showcased plans to design and build the K Street Transitway, a major streetscape project on K Street NW with dedicated bus lanes, enhanced bicycle accessibility, and safer pedestrian intersections. The project is projected to improve bus speeds by 30 percent for an estimated 40,000 daily bus passengers.
“As DC continues to grow and prosper, we need to reimagine our major roadways for the 21st century with infrastructure improvements that make public transportation more efficient and reliable for residents who rely on it,” said Mayor Bowser. “The K Street Transitway project will transform Downtown with dedicated bus lanes, protected bike lanes, redesigned sidewalks, and safer intersections to help keep DC moving and growing.” (more…)
I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff over the years and this might have just skyrocketed to the top. What the hell?
“Dear PoPville,
I saw this magazine tied in front of the Suntrust Bank on Columbia and 18th NW yesterday. The magazine cover talked about 100 top women in business I think, and it’s in a rope knot. It’s not a noose knot, but still a weird knot. And it’s with real rope. Someone had to go through some effort. Those poles aren’t short.
I honestly can’t tell if this is problematic but thought I’d let you guys decide.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in an apartment building on the corner of Lamont + Mount Pleasant. At 4 a.m., I was awoken by agitated screaming (pretty used to this, living right on the main drag in Mt. P.), but due to the glowing cop car lights, I got out of bed to see what the F happened this time. (more…)

Thanks to Andrea for sharing last night:
“big protest at Sheridan Circle, remembering the Armenian genocide. Turkish ambassador residence has counter protesters. Police are starting to close streets.”
Back in 2017 there was a protest in Sheridan Circle that turned violent when “Turkish security personnel” intervened.
