I wasn’t able to attend the public meeting DDOT held last night regarding streetcars, but Geoff Hatchard of District Curmudgeon did, and wrote up a nice summary for Greater Greater Washington. Read his summary for the details, but here are the most juicy parts:

• DDOT is targeting spring of 2012 as the opening date for the H Street line.
• DDOT Director Gabe Klein says that the National Capital Planning Commission is “very open to compromise” regarding the overhead wire issue. This is good news, as previously NCPC has come off as dogmatically opposed.
• The city will look for federal funding to complete construction.
• The H Street line will include a short subway section, under the Union Station railyards.

As always, BeyondDC cannot wait to see streetcars rolling in the District.
