DC Streetcar Happy Hour 6/22

On Wednesday, June 22nd at 6:00 p.m., the Sierra Club’s Washington, D.C. Chapter will hold a streetcar happy hour at Ray's the Steaks, 3905 Dix St. NE, located a short walk from the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station. Please join fellow sustainable transit advocates have a drink and informally discuss the streetcar system that will soon come to the District.



Directions to Ray's: After leaving the Minnesota Avenue Metro station, walk .4 miles southeast along Minnesota Avenue. Turn left onto Dix St. NE. Ray's is located on the right side of the road just past McDonald's. The V8, U4, and X2 buses all stop nearby. Capital Bikeshare stations can be found at the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station and at the Benning Branch library, located on Benning Rd. one block north of Ray's.

The Sierra Club plans to hold periodic happy hours in different neighborhoods across D.C. If you would like to suggest a location for a future happy hour, please contact Jason Broehm, chair of the Chapter’s transportation committee, at jason.broehm[@]dc.sierraclub.net.

Am I mistaken or was it the Sierra Club that opposes the overhead wires on the streetcars?

You are mistake . It's CHRS and the Comittee of 100 that are using the Wires as a reason to oppose streetcars.

Speaking of the H street shuttle, I saw one of their shuttles parked outside of Henderson Hall in Arlington. Thought it was kinda weird to see it in Arlington of all places, parallel parked on a side street.

Please define "sustainable transit."

Oh I don't know, transit that is run by electric power that can be powered by a variety of sources, especially renewable ones. Not that hard.
