The lightrail would run the same route but tear up the streets.

Accordingly, these deals add up to over $300 million and 1,000 jobs according to Fenty. It seems to me that the capital markets (expected to turn in September according to Moody’s) are manipulating the hands of the council.WLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671593984101658019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-56575360775957347582009-07-13T12:20:20.365-04:002009-07-13T12:20:20.365-04:00I'm not really sure I want easy access to H st...I'm not really sure I want easy access to H street. Is it a bit of pain getting out there compared to the other night spots in DC? YES.<br />Is it as over-run with yuppi-scum? <br />No. I think the lack of a Metro kinda helps the place. Makes me want to move back to the hill though.@BCatDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072381335883321780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-87071610031816665432009-07-12T11:43:14.248-04:002009-07-12T11:43:14.248-04:00Saying the area suffers from an "utter lack o...Saying the area suffers from an "utter lack of metro accessibility" is an exaggeration. The western end of the corridor is well served by both Union Station and the New York Avenue stations.<br /><br />There are plenty of buses and a free shuttle to get riders to the nightlife on the eastern end of the street. A lack of direct metro access has not slowed down Adams Morgan much. <br /><br />In fact, plans to expand Union Station as a unified intermodal transportation hub (trains, metro, inter-city bus service, city bus service, streetcar, bike) will make the area one of the best served in the country (admittedly, years away).<br /><br />No doubt the streetcar is also still years away, but don't underestimate the political pressure to add the service now that the tracks will be in place all along Benning Rd. and H-street. The plan is to extend them across the city in front of the convention center, down K street and on into Georgetown.<br /><br />As anybody who lives/works in the city can tell you, such an easy east-west transportation line (now requiring multiple Metro transfers) would be absolutely packed. I will put my money on the K-street lobbyists who might be interested in riding the thing from their Georgetown/Foxhall homes or to Union Station to hop on a train to visit their financial masters in New York. :-)skinnynoreply@blogger.com
