“Dear PoPville,

Do you have any information on why roads all around Adams Morgan near Kalorama Triangle are restricted for parking?

It’s typical for small stretches of parking to be restricted for several days or longer, but for the past several weeks, large areas of most streets all over my neighborhood (Kalorama/Columbia/Belmont and surrounding roads) have been blocked. It’s becoming very difficult to find a parking space anywhere because. On any given day, 30-40% of roads have been restricted from parking with no explanation other than city ordinance.

Here are some photos as well as a map of the neighborhood with areas that have been blocked off over the past ~2 weeks on and off marked in red. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

The photos previously posted do not do the entire scene justice. The handmade No Parking sign replaced an actual No Parking sign put up by tree trimmers earlier in the week, but the tree trimmers themselves removed those signs once they were finished. The handmade signs sprung up two days later.

Attached are the photos of the signs reversed so you can read them. It’s worth it. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

Please see my email to DPW from this am: our entire block got tickets for street cleaning (that had not happened in years)… on the wrong day!

Just curious if this is something that happens often and how to mass-cancel all these unnecessarily issued tickets. It’s an inconvenience to get them reviewed one by one. Sorry, a bit bitter after an unproductive chat with 311.”
