“Dear PoPville,
I was in a hit and run crash in NOMA Saturday evening. A SUV driver slammed into my rear end causing my airbags to deploy and pushed me into the car in front of me. Unfortunately, the person who hit me did not stop annd drove away. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Me and my dog were hit by a car while running in a marked crosswalk on upper Ct Ave this morning (Tuesday). We are both okay, $300 in vet checkups later, but the guy who hit us had out of state plates and the DC police told me it wasn’t worth pursuing the matter. This in spite of the fact that we were already in the crosswalk when the car began moving towards us, and in spite of the fact that it accelerated towards us while I screamed so loudly that my Apple Watch registered a noise level alert.
Last year, a close friend of mine was hit by a car, also in a marked DC crosswalk, after she recalls “making eye contact” with a driver who then proceeded to hit her anyway. In October, another close friend was hospitalized and left with permanent nerve damage and vision loss when a young woman plowed into her and her dog in a marked crosswalk with a walk signal on Bradley Boulevard. And not even a month ago, my best friend rushed her dog to the ER after she was hit by a car in Takoma Park.
Why aren’t we holding drivers accountable for these incidents?! (more…)

“Approximately 50,000 vehicles travel Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway (RCPP) each day, making it a vital connection between northwest Washington, D.C., and downtown. The National Park Service (NPS) is committed to ensuring a safe and smooth experience for all road users. To enhance safety and improve operations, the NPS is developing a Multimodal Safety and Operational Improvements Plan.
