Alex, the hybrid streetcars can't even go 1 mile without the overhead wires. What I heard said was that the proposal was that they'd go wireless while crossing Pennsylvania Avenue and other major view sheds. So, who's going to decide what's a major view shed and what isn't? To each and everyone of us living in this city, the blocks closest to our homes and wherever we go on a regular basis are our 'major viewsheds'. I'm not even going to get into the extra noise and traffic stoppage you can expect everytime the streetcars have to lower their arms and go from 'wired' to 'wireless' and then vice versa. It's going to be a real circus ... The more I think about it, it's this hybrid solution which seems to be the unproven one.
