@Andrew If the Florida Ave streetcar line gets built, this will happen. I'm shocked that the project isn't giving this any consideration.

I'm not. Our streetcar project has been hijacked by the developers. They're already almost finished developing U Street, why would they need a District-taxpayer-subsidized Streetcar project there to help them get people to buy their stuff?

If we were using the streetcar to help ease congestion ---- as they have done in Europe and elsewhere --- then yes, we'd be finding a way to get the tracks built in there now. But as I've been warning now for maybe a year, the problem is that these parts of the streetcar system are so way off in the planning horizon that few of us will be around to enjoy them (if they actually come to be), and hence why you don't see any real planning occuring for them.
