“Dear PoPville,

I’m hoping you can help me find a witness. Around 2:45 pm yesterday (Wed.), I was stopped at the light on Park Place and Kenyon Street NW. I was in the left lane, next to the southbound bike lane. Very suddenly, 2-3 cars (maybe Kia Souls? Those boxy kind of cars) sped by going through the red light on my right, and another came up behind me and drove over the flexiposts/concrete through the bike lane to do the same. There were no cyclists or others in the lane, thank goodness.

I heard a scrape, not a crash, and was so stunned I didn’t know what to do. As I got out to look at the car, I noticed scratches and scraping. I then saw a police car drive by, and turn right on Kenyon (not following any of the cars, no lights on, etc). (more…)
