“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else found a way to get a residential parking pass if you didn’t have one from 2020 to carry over to 2021 now that they are enforcing parking? The ddot website leads to a broken link and the last time Popville visited this was back in May 13 in regards to a system that won’t be live until July 1; what are we supposed to do in the meatime?”
