Thanks to Jonathan for sending the above this morning from Connecticut Ave.
Steve sends the above yesterday: “USPS driver blocked this bus stop/right turn lane.. on K street at 19th, main line not service roads, while he casually went into a building for 5 mins.
…. during rush hour.” (more…)
“So which is it?” Thanks to Susan for sending from the 500 block Pennsylvania Ave, SE.
Parking sign madness continues with this gem from Kevin who spots the above on North Capitol and Buchanan Street, NE.
“Dear PoPville,
Help me out with this one. Top sign, makes complete sense. Second sign… still with you there. Third sign… trumps all above signs when it pertains to the right of the sign? I sat at this sign for a good minute trying to figure out if I could park there. Then I realized that’s what they wanted from me. Not today, DC, not today.”

From DDOT:
“Today, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the next phase of the curbside pickup-dropoff (PUDO) program will focus on commercial activity. DDOT has partnered with curbFlow, a mobility company that coordinates commercial operator pickup & drop-off activity to available curb space in real time. As part of the project, curbFlow will research and analyze the demand at nine locations throughout the District where commercial loading and PUDO activities for delivery services often leads to double parking and other dangerous behavior.

“Dear PoPville,
I wonder if your readers know if a dumpster permit allows for 4 spots to be taken from the street for 2 ½ months?”
@DCDPW this guy just got towed off of North Capitol & deposited right away on to the street cleaning side of Adams St.. which means he’ll be towed again today. When I confronted the driver of the tow truck, I got a ‘🤷🏻♂️not my problem’. Not ok. @PoPville pic.twitter.com/l4xCWkqTcO

Tammar reported yesterday to DPW:
“this guy just got towed off of North Capitol & deposited right away on to the street cleaning side of Adams St.. which means he’ll be towed again today.”
There were many, many takes on whether this was cool or not. Many takes. Tammar later responded to one:
“The city had, in this scenario, the option (on the same street) to put the car where it would 100% NOT get a ticket today OR where it would likely get one (and prob towed again).”
And DPW retweeted that response: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I have a little bit of a situation on my hand at my house. I have an unwanted guest parking in my spot. They’ve been there since Monday night. I don’t want them ticketed/towed for fear of retaliation. What should I do?!?”
Joel reports yesterday around 5:30pm:
“From 14th and Corcoran during the evening rush. One covers the bike lane, the other the motor vehicle lane. Now that’s teamwork.”
Thanks to Joel for sending:
“From Mass Ave NW between 10th and 11th. This parking job is a work of art, the way it so perfectly captures what’s wrong with car culture. They couldn’t have gotten it more perfectly centered in a crowded sidewalk during the morning rush.”
