“Dear PoPville,
I posted my Emergency No Parking signs for a moving truck 72+ hours in advance, but forgot to upload the photos in time and so the photo verification failed….does this just mean I can’t call 311 to get people towed or are my signs totally invalid now?“

“Dear PoPville,
Having followed my fellow readers’ shared frustration with the awful new ParkDC system, I thought I’d contribute my experience.
After two and a half weeks calling and emailing the ParkDC help line about adding the address of my Connecticut Avenue condo building to their system so I could create a guest parking pass, I finally went straight to the source today and called DDOT directly.
On the phone with a rep, I was told that because it is zoned as a commercial rather than a residential street, any and all Connecticut Ave. addresses are not included in their system and are thus ineligible for visitor parking passes. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am curious about this “no parking sign” on 23rd St NW between Wyoming Ave. and Tracy Pl. It seems fake! The coloring and the fact that the property owner can call for a vehicle to be towed while on the public street makes me skeptical. Yours/reader thoughts?”
I think the embassy sign looks legit and maybe they just added the bottom one? Would the bottom one, if legit, apply to the same hours as above Monday-Friday?

“Dear PoPville,
Can the hive mind confirm that this is absolutely shenanigans? On 19th and T there is a renovation where there is a dumpster and (at least) two parking spaces coned off, apparently 24 hours a day for 6 months. Whatever – if you’ve got the permits, do your thing, but I think that actually they don’t have the permits. (more…)
A resident from Ward 2 writes in part to DDOT and the Council:
“After spending over 2 hours trying to obtain a visitor parking permit this evening (used to take 75 seconds at a MPD station), including 41 minutes on the phone with a DDOT contractor, I wanted to reach out regarding this flawed and discriminatory new permitting system.
First the system is broken – neither the app or the website worked and I even stopped by my local MPD station with no luck. Everything had to be manually entered by a DDOT contractor over a grueling 41 minute phone conversation. (more…)
