“Dear PoPville,

I have a friend coming to visit in a few weeks, they plan to drive and have a new/nice car. I have seen many vehicles in my neighborhood (NW) get their windows busted out, but even more concerning, I have seen very new cars have their tires stolen. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I’ve noticed this public parking space on New Hampshire right by Bandit Taco off of U st. The motorcycle is normally parked directly in front of the truck, looks as if the person permanently blocks the spot with the motorcycle (attached photo) when they use the truck? Is this legal?”


“Dear PoPville,

Several blocks in the AdMo-Kalorama neighborhood are now signed “No Parking” for the remainder of the month, meaning a couple hundred-plus parking spaces will get axed during that time. Can understand the one block of Kalorama Road and Wyoming Avenue (between Columbia Road and 18th Street) getting the signs in preparation for the one-way conversion. (more…)



“here’s the old sign and the new sign, not more than five or six car lengths apart”

“Dear PoPville,

So a DDOT truck drove up in front of my house today and put up some new parking signs in spots that I guess have been in need of them. Great! Hooray for infrastructure!

Except when they left, I noticed that the signs read “2 hour parking—Zone 4A permit holders excepted.”

Which is interesting, because I and my neighbors all have “zone 4” parking stickers…and the EXISTING signs at the end of my block say “Zone 4,” NOT “Zone 4A.” (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

DDOT closing down the whole street of 1300-1400 M St NW with zero notice. Takes up both sides of street parking. Signs were printed the day before (as noted on sign) are they allowed to do this? Very frustrating! Address listed on sign also wrong!!”


“Dear PoPville,

Illegal parking all week

This thing arrive on Florida between 18/19 and has been illegally parked since Friday 5/12. How?”
