“perhaps this is a step in the right direction?”

“Dear PoPville,

saw 2 cars getting booted in NW this morning. Looked like MD plates on both of them. I’ve heard DC has been struggling to enforce tickets/fines on out of town drivers – perhaps this is a step in the right direction?”

You may run but you can’t hide. Daily DPW tickets vehicles and boots and tows vehicles with three or more outstanding tickets. We’ve even found a car w/ more than $70K in tickets. If your car is parked on a DC street w/ tickets and violations sooner or later we will find you. pic.twitter.com/mbNjGSXJMk

“Dear PoPville,

There’s a new(ish) last week or so no parking zone on 17th between S and R that appears to have been changed from zone 2 parking in the past week or so.

It’s especially confusing as when they redid the street 3 months ago they eliminated roughly 15% of the parking but clearly painted boxes for where cars are allowed. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Where in NW DC can I park at a reasonable monthly rate? I really only use the car on weekends. Are any places “safer” than others? When I look at Google reviews, they all look awful with vandalism and whatnot. I am lookin for a place to park.”

Lining up on 12th NW to tow any car that parks in a food truck space, except no food truck has parked there in two years. The tow trucks were literally waiting for people to park and walk away.”

“Neighbors parking badly: ZipCar parked in the alley, Day 3”

By Prince Of Petworth

Published February 7, 2022 at 2:35PM

“Dear PoPville,

So here’s the ZipCar, parked by the neighbors at their gate, blocking the alley (Petworth) since Friday night.

The police managed to ticket it, either last night or this morning. I guess it’s not considered a hazard for the fire department, or the rest of us on the block. (more…)
