“Dear PoPville,
On my way to work after the snow thawed, I’ve been noticing some pretty significant damage the snow plows did to the bike lane infrastructure: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
From 14th & Decatur NW…no trash or recycling pickup in four full weeks (since before the storm) despite the alley being plowed for more than two weeks. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
In Brookland this has been our view for the past week now, it’s getting absurd. Car owner leaves for hours on end with this spot saver in place. And spot saver has only grown over time, more items have been added over time. Started off with just one red block.”

“Dear PoPville,
The parking wars have gotten out of hand! Last night I saw a woman essentially reburying a car in the snow (in Bloomingdale.) And this wasn’t just simply kicking some snow under the tires then driving away. She used a shovel. And when she was done with the shovel, she started moving large blocks of ice with her hands and wedging them under the car. I don’t need to tell anyone here how disgusting the snow and ice is these days to be picking up with your hands. And this was no quick act. This went on for almost half an hour! All the while her car sitting in the street with its hazard lights on. (more…)
ICYMI: On Monday – Has Your Trash Still Not Been Collected? You are not alone. “Our goal is to be fully back to normal this week.”

We haven’t had trash or recycling pickup in over three weeks, this being a week after the DC government plowed out alley to facilitate trash pickup.

Last night DC Department of Public Works shared the following note:
“The Department of Public Works continues working to restore full residential trash, recycling, and food waste collections. We recognize some residents are experiencing missed collections, and we understand how frustrating and disruptive the situation is.
To address these delays, DPW has activated seasonal employees as part of a dedicated escalation protocol. This will (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
The snowcrete pile on Utah Avenue at Nebraska Avenue, NW. A fleet of Bobcats has been busy over the last few days pulling snow from nearby streets and creating this epic snowcrete mountain. (more…)

GOOD MORNING PoPville. My garbage has still not been picked up nor have many other neighborhoods. We are not alone in that regard, sadly. As we continue to be gaslit on that front please enjoy a little levity.
Thanks to Erica for sending “Sandwich guy snow sculpture in Dupont Circle!”
And thanks to Jeff for sending a look at the Barbies: (more…)
This morning in a bout of frustration I posted on our social media channels:
“Perhaps DC should issue some guidance about what we should do if our trash has STILL not been collected coming on week 3. Should we stack bags next to our cans? You have said collection would be back to normal last Monday. Please be aware that did not happen for all. Please advise us what to do while we wait.”
