From WMATA:
“Metro will make it easy for riders to get to the Smithsonian National Zoo to say bye-bye to Bei Bei, the zoo’s beloved giant panda. Free shuttle buses will drop-off and pick-up customers at the zoo’s entrance while three Red Line stations (Cleveland Park, Woodley Park and Dupont Circle) are closed for major lighting upgrades this weekend. (more…)
Thanks to all who messaged about the van that ended up in the middle of Sherman Circle yesterday:
“Odd Sherman Circle crash from today. Incredible the vehicle ended up in the middle of the circle. Police temporarily taped off the area. Car malfunction? Thankfully, looked like no one was hurt.”

“The kicker is how far the truck made it into the circle. It ran all the way up to the center and hit a light pole. All air bags deployed. Park police had it all taped off and waiting for tow truck. This happened about 4pm.”
Whoa, thanks to Max for sending: “Wind Damage at NoMa Metro. Heard this happen…wind took the door off the N Street station entrance. Yikes!” (more…)
Thanks to Anthony for sending: “Just casually parking on the sidewalk along Mass Ave NW…”

Alas a reader rightly pointed out it is very likely somebody with mental health issues.
We’ve reported similar upsetting incidents back in 2018. Good reminder to check under the handles real quick tho.
Thanks to AL for sending: “Hey PoPville, saw this on my drive this morning on W street NW”
Thanks to Trey for sending from the above Brightwood Park: “I can’t imagine a more stereotypical parking job for this truck than being a foot and a half off the curb and six feet into the alley. VA plates. Been there two hours.”
Thanks to Andy for sending the poorly parked Revel above from Cathedral Heights.
Thanks to Emily for sending from Foggy Bottom: “Seems everything is confusing in DC lately …”
Or s/he’s just following the GPS Like everyone else.
Thanks to Oliver for sending from Capitol Hill during yesterday’s rush hour. “Independence Avenue SE headed west.”
“Dear PoPville,
The red escalator handrails at Fort Totten station were installed a while ago and I read (I think on metro’s website) that they were a test to see if they worked. If so, they would be installed throughout the system. To date these are the only ones that I’ve seen. Anyone know what’s going on with them?”
