From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin construction of the deckover at Dupont Circle on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, as part of the Connecticut Avenue Streetscape and Deckover Project, weather permitting.
The new deckover will transform the space above the Connecticut Avenue underpass into a vibrant public plaza designed for strolling, relaxing, outdoor dining, working, and hosting community events. This project will enhance pedestrian connections, create new opportunities for public art and cultural programming, and add green space in one of DC’s most iconic neighborhoods. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else noticed that the flights into National Airport (DCA) are taking a new flightpath directly over North Capitol St/Petworth, flying north and turning to go back south into DCA to land? It’s been like 5 or 6 days now with flights over Petworth every 10 minutes or so. Wonder if this has anything to do with Trump’s golf course in Virginia?

Thanks to Talia for sending from at gallery place metro!

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know why the Capital Bikeshare station on 20th St between P and O St NW isn’t working? I haven’t been able to dock or take a bike from this station for over a week, and I’ve seen others have trouble. It doesn’t show up on the app anymore (pic attached), even though there are about 20 bikes there.”

Thanks to a reader for sending around 7:30pm last night (Wed.) from Chevy Chase, DC:
“I heard a loud noise didn’t know what it was so ignored. Saw red light reflections in window later and then walked out to see the car on the lawn. Tore through fencing, flipped, hit a tree. People are saying it was going very very fast. Hope driver is okay was already sent to hospital when I went outside.” (more…)
