20th and L Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Do you have any idea what motivated DC to install what appear to be permanent pylons on L Street NW at 20th, effectively making L Street one lane at that point, then reopening to two lanes once through the intersection?

Thanks to Camden for sending from Capitol Hill: “I saw this near Lincoln Park NE on Saturday (5/22). Both notes were inside the car’s dashboard window.

Photo by Mathew “saw this while walking the dog near Irving street. Did it happen?”

Update:

although:

Ian writes: “I heard Taco Bell Cantina was opening at 11 a.m. today.

I went at 10:30 a.m. to try to nab their inaugural Crunchwrap Supreme, but an employee told me they didn’t get everything they needed on their truck last night, so, “if not today, tomorrow.”

STAY TUNED.
