Anyone know when the streetcar will be running on H? I saw somewhere that it is expwected to be running this year. Also, when will the Florida Ave tracks arrive?

Early 2012 is the estimate I have seen on the streetcars running, but given the amount of work remaining-- the turnarounds, the union station tunnel, the power stations-- that seems ambitious to me. But I hope I'm wrong.

Here's a good resource:

The streetscape construction will be completed this fall, fully operating streetcar sometime in Spring 2012.
