Several years ago, various residents and business owners in and around Blagden Alley began to complain about the lack of stop signs on the north/south leg of Blagden Alley. The cross alley is not really visible and there have been many close close calls. The north/south alley is often used as a cut-through route by non-residents.

And the years went by. The old stop sign got painted over somewhere in those years. Joe Madison, one of the Mayor's Ward 2 people, gave it a shot. Jack Evans' office has made several tries. Mark Bjorge really thought he could get it done, and he was really good. (Joe was good, too, but is now covering some territory in the boondocks.) Finally, Andrew Huff and Francisco Fimbres, who have replaced Mark and Abby Peterson have done it:

And, as a bonus, from one of the Alley denizens:

Bonjour Hal

Blagden alley was bustling this morning [Wednesday, Aug 12] with DC employees.

2 trucks to put No Parking signs everywhere

One guy to cut all the green of the alley on the ground

And one big sweeper to clean up...

Just to let you know, Bonjour a madame
