“Dear PoPville,
This is probably a stupid question, but I’ve been in DC for 2.5 years and always managed to find parking around my Adams Morgan apartment (up to 1/4 mile away, though I would have to circle around for up to 20 minutes). However in the last month or two, I haven’t been this lucky a few times. Especially lately, there’s been construction equipment taking up parking spaces. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live near Audi Field and whenever there is a DC United game (and sometimes other events) all parking decorum goes out the window. People park wherever they’d like without concern for others. (more…)
Thanks to The Shinning for sending from 20th off K Street, NW.
Having seen some early reaction, while most agree that the signage is confusing, let me just say that yes, when you take a moment the signs are obviously decipherable but the point is that the 7am on the green sign for 5 of those days that you are in fact not allowed to park there is unnecessarily deceiving at first glance. OK, let’s argue about it anyway :)
Thanks to Mary for sending from “outside embassy of Peru this morning….deep breath, everyone!”
Thanks to C for sending from 13th and U Street, NW: “13th and U St NW (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
There are few streets that escape the wrath of DC Parking enforcement. The odd numbered side of 9thSt NW by the intersection of 9th & O St was one of them – until this morning [earlier this week]. DC Parking has been installing paid permanent placards from O to the convention center. Knowing the operating model of parking for the city, is there any widespread notice before this happens, or should those parked that didn’t see the signs go up in a matter of hours expect an immediate parking ticket?“
From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) today announced that the 2020 Annual Visitor Parking passes will remain valid through the end of 2021, providing more time for DC residents living on Residential Permit Parking (RPP) blocks and their visitors to sign up for and start managing their visitor parking permits through the new ParkDC Permits online portal.

Will asks: “Any suggestions on what to do when two cars egregiously box you in (specifically looking at you black Toyota Camry) to the point where you can’t move your car an inch? Haven’t been able to drive to work the past two days because of this.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Riggs place in Dupont Circle.
Saw me looking for parking and pulled this move –
How neighborly!”
Joel asks: “I’ve tried reading the parking regs with no luck. Wonder if anyone can answer this question:
After my time expires for a spot with a two-hour sign, can I move to another spot on the SAME street?
(no permit on the car)”
