This morning was a terrible commute for me and probably many other Columbia Heights residents, as 14th and 16th Street had big problems, I’m guessing related to the National Prayer Breakfast. I didn’t know ahead of time, but I wish I had checked.
The other day, a DDOT (or d. if you want to be hip) spokesperson sent me a couple of links to their useful website, ddot.dc.gov, which has a live traffic report page, plus a snow status page telling you what’s going on with the various mass transit options in the city. Of course, there’s also the DDOT Twitter: @DDOTDC
Check them out. Always nice to see local government being responsive like this.
