Matt warns: “Would you park in this empty space at 4th and I SE? If you do, DPW will ticket you at 2am, which I and many of my neighbors learned the hard way. Anyone want to venture a guess why? If you park within the clearly painted parking box, you are too close to the stop sign. Apparently you are not allowed to park within 25 feet of one, which means that even the front bumper of the grey car is too close (though the car across the street was not ticketed).”
Credit to DPW who replied to Matt: “Matt, please email us at [email protected], we’ll be able to figure out a better solution via email. Feel free to share this address with your neighbors.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking at moving to a place in Navy Yard, but the building I’m looking at doesn’t have any parking available. Colonial Parking says a bunch of their garages in the area are restricted to office tenants only for monthly parking – is there a good way to find non-restricted public monthly parking or any leads on Navy Yard monthly spots?”
