“Dear PoPville,
I live at 16th and Columbia Road NW. We and our neighbors have been dealing with noise on and off from the roadwork for the 16th Street bus project — while working from home — since February or March. Now, we found out last night that the contractors are going to be doing resurfacing work at our intersection overnight, potentially every night this week.
This work is loud, with constant starting and stopping of machinery that shakes the room. I managed to get to sleep while blasting white noise through my earbuds and wearing noise-canceling headphones. But that only worked for a couple of hours, and then I was awake until well after they finally quit work after 3 am.
This is all so that commuters don’t have to deal with roadwork during the day. Seriously? (more…)

“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?!
