accident at Venable and 24th
An accident at Venable and 24th Streets involving a police cruiser and an allegedly “very drunk man” in a minivan left the cruiser wedged against a power pole, the minivan smashed in the middle of 24th, and parts and pieces of both scattered all over the intersection. At the scene, at least one of the elderly residents of the Church Hill House was complaining of being hit by debris from the accident; no word on possible injuries to either of the drivers.

more on the Venable stop signs
nbc12 has a bit more on the now council-approved 4-way stops on Venable Street:
City Council voted in favor of placing several four-way stop signs on Venable Street. [...]
While City Council approved the stop signs, the Department of Public Works did not recommend them. It says putting up stop signs do not successfully calm traffic, like some other measures would.
The mayor now has 14 days to veto the stop signs if he chooses. But, if plans move forward the stop signs could go up as quickly as within a month.
