“Dear PoPville,
Just checking in again on the basically daily occurrence here in Mt Pleasant. Once again, illegally parked (and/or poorly parked) cars are blocking the D72 from turning around. Cars are always parking in front of the stop sign on that strip of 17th St right next to Lamont Plaza. Not joking, this happens at least once a day – thankfully right now the bus driver is doing the rational thing and not laying on the horn. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Great news! Our alleys were cleared overnight (I’ll forgive the 430am lights, beeping, construction noises for this helpful progress).
Bad news? They piled it on our sidewalks. Is this happening in other neighborhoods? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Our street, the 1600 block of Underwood St. NW, hasn’t been plowed a single time since the storm a week ago. In the last day alone my teenage son has helped at least three cars stuck in the street spinning their wheels on the ice. We have elderly and disabled residents restricted to their homes, unable to get to the grocery store or doctors office. We haven’t had mail delivery either the entire week.
We have called 311 repeatedly. The 1600 blocks of Van Buren and Tuckerman are equally messy and dangerous. Photo attached! (Don’t be distracted by the lovely sunset over the park…)”

Joe sums it up succinctly: “Dog sh*t mountain at 1st and U NW.” (more…)
