Who is the NCPC and what do they have to do with the streetcar system?  I wish the article was better written to where it would actually state what the acronyms mean.  This is a frustrating trend in journalism nowadays.

Getting back on topic (heh), were they trying to expand the line from its original origin point?

NCPC = National Capitol Planning Commission. They have some power to approve or reject projects.
