>> What’s is very concerning is that Yield signs have gone in northbound at about 136 Kentucky, mid-block and mid block southbound in the 200 Block. I think the intent is tell traffic going one direction to yield traffic going the other direction.  I’ve never seen this kind of signing anyplace and therefore think likely to be not understood and lead to a heads on collision. WE‘VE ALREADY HAD TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS IN THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ABOUT THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.  IM SURE WE DONT WANT MORE.

The DDOT contract workers advised they will return tomorrow to place No Parking signs along the West side of 100 block of Kentucky Ave going south from the East Capitol intersection.  Instead of 20' of no parking the workers said they will be blocking off approximately 80' (my best guess).  Currently there are six cars parked in the curb space that the contract workers advise will become no parking.
