Washington, DC — Streetcar Plan Changes

January 2018

WTOP reported on january 17 that the District is essentially canceling plans for streetcars in Anacostia and along M St. in Southeast and Southwest by moving them to the aspirational part of the transportation plan rather than the section that is funded for construction.

D.C. does plan to extend the existing H Street streetcar to Georgetown by 2025, three years earlier than the previously updated plans. The line’s extension just across the Anacostia River is now planned to be completed in 2023 rather than 2020.
