--> Businesses along the H Street NE corridor are being strangled from four years of disruptive street and roadwork for the streetcar project. Customers’ access has been limited due to the steady opening and closing of pavements on H Street, NE, along with blockades and barricades, parking restrictions, and the clutter of heavy duty construction equipments.

18th Street is being similarly reconstructed, but it's not taking 4 years ... but only 1 ... because it doesn't have the extra effort involved to install tracks. But in any case, the issue here is that like the streetcar improvement, the tax exemption benefits seem to be very narrowly focused in regards to who is benefitting from them ... At least that's what I took away from the article. Just like the Streetcar will be paid for by the B.A.D. assessment tax which will be disproportionately borne by those small business and residents and landlords who aren't getting the tax breaks mentioned in the article.
