Better late then never!
i hate to be a pessimist, but until i see the tracks going in, and the streetcars running, i'm going to be holding back a smile on this one....
I just came down H from N Capitol going east and they are doing construction on H at 3rd St.
There's also been construction going on on Md Ave at H/Benning/15th/Bladensberg. I wonder if that's the beginning of the Starburst Intersection.
i was just alerted that fenty pledged 25 million dollars EXTRA for the H street revitalization! it's on a dc government website and on dcmud.blogspot
