“Dear PoPville,
was wondering best options for rental cars that won’t break the bank? Seems like enterprise/national rental cars are north of $2k even with corporate discounts, but was wondering if the community has other options of what we can do?”
“Dear PoPville,
We live in a converted row home 2 unit condo with separate electrical panels. Our condo neighbors have purchased a new EV and are looking to install a Level 2 charger. Have any other small condos dealt with this? Any guidance or insight?”

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the immediate acceleration of safety improvement projects that will better protect pedestrians as well as new reforms that will streamline and speed up the completion of safety projects.
“The work to make our roads and sidewalks safer is urgent,” said Mayor Bowser. “In addition to accelerating safety improvement projects citywide, residents deserve a faster process for having dangerous conditions on our roads and sidewalks addressed. We can and will move faster, and implementing a streamlined, less bureaucratic process is the first step in making that happen.”
Beginning this week, DDOT will accelerate roadway and intersection improvements that will enhance pedestrian safety, including the installation of speed humps, stop signs, and right turn hardening measures. DDOT will also install measures that provide visual and concrete reminders to drivers that they must drive responsibly, to include driver feedback signs, high visibility crosswalks, concrete curb extensions, and extended leading pedestrian intervals.
Also, starting now and continuing annually, DDOT will target 100 intersections that are within the District’s high-crash, high-injury corridors. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I have a question regarding turning left if you are in the intersection when the light is green, but you are unable to turn until the light turns red.
This afternoon, I was turning left onto West Virginia Avenue NE from Mt. Olivet Rd. NE when the light turned red before I was able to complete the turn. I initially entered the intersection when the light was green, as many people do, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass and to allow those behind me to continue going straight. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am in the market for an EV but I live in an apartment where street parking is the only option. My work has charging and I am tentatively planning on utilizing fast charging on weekends, when needed. I would appreciate any insights your readers might be able to provide if they’ve had experience owning an EV in the city.”
