“Dear PoPville,
I was working on a project behind my house Sunday evening at about 6:30 when I heard a loud boom. Soon the sirens of police and other emergency response ensued, and I went to investigate to see a police cruiser had collided with a BMW at 14th and Arkansas. I don’t know which vehicle was coming from where, but four people went to the hospital, including the two officers in the cruiser. I later learned that everyone would be ok, but that they were obviously shaken up.”
Well, it’s def unique for DC. What do you think so far? We first took a look at the construction on the 3600 block of Rock Creek Church Rd, NW (just off New Hampshire ave) in early Sept. ’11. I’m having a tough time getting past the tiny windows. At this point – thumbs up or down?

Some new striped crossings are going in on both sides of New Hampshire Ave and Quincy St, NW. While I appreciate the effort, in my walkabout experiences – these striped crossings don’t work any better than regular crossings. The only thing that I’ve found to work is a traffic light or stop sign. What have your experiences been like? Do you find that cars are more likely to slow down for you if you are crossing the street in a stripped crossing (without a traffic light)? Maybe we should get some Crosswalk flags?
Actually, maybe it’s just a Halloween tree…
