“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,

Anyone who has ever driven down Park Rd NW knows there is a chronic back up between 14 and 16 St NW due to the Pine St NW light. The light changes in 9 seconds (I’m not joking!!) and causes a ridiculous back up. How can we have it changed to a different time to promote traffic flow?!

From Wonderland (11th and Kenyon Street, NW):

“We have been monitoring the rise of COVID-19 cases across the US – driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant.
