@DCDriver: Union Station are actually planning to build a new entrance onto H St to accommodate projected growth at some point during the next decade. This would create good connections between Amtrak, Metro, intercity buses, and the Streetcar.

The railroad alongside the Hopscotch bridge will also eventually be decked over, connecting H St to the North Capitol business developments.

A streetcar to K St would actually be a pretty smart thing to put here, no matter how slow it goes. You'd pick up a lot of business travelers coming off of the Acela.

You're right that the H St line doesn't make much sense on its own, although it was never built with the assumption that it would remain the only part of the system for very long. If Union Station actually does build a northern concourse, the bridge will be the *best* place for the streetcar to go.
