From DDOT:

“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the start of bus lane construction on 14th Street NW between Euclid and Newton Streets NW, commencing a year-long project to improve bus performance and safety.

“We are excited to launch such important work in enhancing bus transit in the Columbia Heights corridor,” said District Director Jeff Marootian. “DDOT recognizes how essential this will be for area residents and it also exemplifies Mayor Bowser’s commitment to improving bus travel speeds and reliability across the District.”

DDOT expects the enhanced bus lane will improve performance of the DC Circulator Woodley Park-Adams Morgan route and Metrobus lines 52, 54, and 59. (more…)


Starting to get reports of a big police presence in Columbia Heights around 14th and Park Road, NW. Seems like there could be a few different things going on:

“lots is sirens and helicopter circling in Colombia Heights between 13th and 14th near Park/Monroe streets.”

“they are patrolling with some armor on, hanging out until dark it looks like.”

Another report says: “passed by The Woodner complex (16th St NW) there’s a ton of police cars outside the building’s entrance.”


“Dear PoPville,

Anyone else seeing roving bands of cop caravans? They turned left from Kenyon onto 14th and right onto Columbia Road. Then, 10 minutes later, they went back north on 14th street and turned left onto Park Road.”

And thanks to Kate for sending the vehicle above: “Police are starting to stage between 16th and K and Eye st. I would expect them to cut off traffic in both directions soon.”
