“Dear PoPville,
The below-email is from the Elevation building (100 Florida Ave. NE), the big apartment building on Dave Thomas Circle. As you’ll see, there were numerous break-ins of vehicles in the parking garage this past week. This is not the first incident involving this parking garage, which is used both by building residents and commuters to Noma. Back around New Years, there were several acts of vandalism, including car’s tires being slashed and one vehicle even being set on fire. The building had contracted out security after those incidents but apparently let the contract lapse. These incidents seem of interest to those living, working, and hanging out in Noma.”

The public artwork is the first realization of the BID’s Gateways Project (nomabid.org/gateways), a long-term effort that will use art to transform key intersections around NoMa. (more…)

Update from the NoMa BID:

“Dear PoPville,
I was traveling south in the dedicated bike lane this morning on 1st St NE crossing K St NE. I had the green light, but an oncoming vehicle turned right from 1st onto K directly into my path and I ended up on the windshield, as you can see. (more…)
Yikes. Thanks to Andrew for sending from K/2nd NE – happened around 7:05 am – two people in car, seemed to be fine (lucky!)
