“Dear PoPville,
A few months ago, my girlfriend went to go check on her car in Woodley Park to see it had been towed from the normal spot and city construction signs where her car was. She is 100% certain she did NOT park in the construction zone, but instead the city expanded the zone (or moved the sign) to now encompass the parking spot. Her car was towed to Conn Ave., which has limited parking, where it was promptly ticketed multiple times and towed again to the location where she was eventually told her car was. She is now “responsible” for approximately $700 in parking tickets.
First, we tried disputing the tickets through the DMV’s parking payment system. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what’s going on with the volleyball courts near the Lincoln Memorial? I used to play there every summer, but the courts were closed down during the pandemic quarantine in spring 20202 and never reopened. I found out last summer that they were undergoing renovation. I drove by recently and the courts appear to be finished with new nets, sand, and everything you need to play the game of volleyball except that the whole area is still inside a construction fence. There’s no information online about why they haven’t opened yet. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Are there areas of ward 4 that dont have street cleaning? How do people go on vacations for a few weeks and not get ticketed?”
