alley east of 1st St NW, north of U St NW: heavy traffic congestion yesterday afternoon
From a resident on the unit block of U Street NW - near the alley just east of 1st Street NW, which has become the substitute 1st Street NW:
Please see the attached photo. I took this today at about 2:30-3 pm. No one was moving in this instance and things got pretty heated. People got out of their cars and were shouting at each other. That's five cars!
We need a solution to the problem and fast!

D.C. Zoning Commission votes to reduce maximum height of pop-ups
The D.C. Zoning Commission took its first action on Monday night against developers building the city’s growing number of pop-up homes, voting to reduce the maximum by-right height of single-family rowhouses to 35 feet, down from 40, in some of the city’s gentrifying neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Shaw and Columbia Heights.
...
The Zoning Commission’s decision is not final. But its vote Monday night gives residents and developers who have been anxiously following the pop-up debate an initial look at the likely set of rules that could govern one of the city’s most controversial building practices. Later this spring, the Zoning Commission will take a second, final vote after a legally required advisory review by the federal National Capital Planning Commission.
...
During Monday night’s meeting, the commission voted 3 to 2 in favor of the by-right 35-foot height cap, but also allowed residents or developers to pursue a special exception if they want a 40-foot tall building.
...
Developers won’t be allowed to build rear additions that pop back and extend 10 feet past the rear wall of any adjacent rowhouse...
