So-after years of construction and testing- they may abandon the project ? How freaking absurd...Actually the construction was originally suppose to be a total rehabilitation of the curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streets and underground utilities along H Street and Benning Road from 1st Street to Oklahoma Avenue NE. The District of Columbia decided to also add streetcars tracks to the rehabilitation project with no clear plan as to what the ultimate goal was going to be. After the rehabilitation they the modified one section to accommodate the connection to the carbarn and crossovers at both ends to accommodate the changing of direction, both were built as projects separate from the street rehabilitation. The DC streetcar startup project was original suppose to be in Anacostia. That one was built much like the H Street Benning Road rehabilitation project. The difference being is they still have not settled on where the stop is going to be near the south entrance to the Anacostia Metrorail station and where the south terminal is going be along South Capitol Street.
