H Street Benning Road Streetcar Tracks Pictures

[Sand Box John]

Progress on the installation of the streetcars track along H Street and Benning Road as part of DCDoT Great Streets Initiative is far further along then what has been done on the Anacostia Streetcar Project.

The entire length of Benning Road from 16th Street to east of Oklahoma Avenue. totally complete.

As seen in the first picture below H Street is less further along. But then DCDoT is totally rebuilding H Street from door step to door step between 2nd  and 15th Street NE.

The last 4 pictures show the loading platform at Oklahoma Avenue. Based on the length of the platform DCDoT plans to run their streetcars in single units only. In my opinion this was not a wise decision.
