Community Stakeholders Are Encouraged to Attend and Provide Input on Streetcar Line Extension
(Washington, D.C.) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is hosting a public meeting on Thursday, September 6, to discuss a study it has initiated to explore the feasibility of extending the H Street/Benning Road streetcar line east of the Anacostia River, in northeast Washington, and solicit input from community stakeholders.
As part of the study, DDOT will look into how it may be able to link the H Street/Benning Road streetcar line to the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station or the Benning Road Metro Station.
At this meeting DDOT will provide an overview on the scope of the study and explain the technical work that will be performed as part of the study.
The meeting will be structured to allow for 30 minutes of materials review and individual discussion with team members prior to a 30-minute presentation. A one-hour question and answer session will follow the conclusion of the presentation and will offer an opportunity for participants to provide additional input.
