I have been involved with the various issues around the Anacostia Streetcar Line, walked the route, made suggestions, etc.

John Deatrick, chief Engineer of DC DOT has been the driving force behind streetcars for many years now. I know him well.

I had a "Collabrative Endeavor" draft on building streetcar lines between DC DOT, New Orleans Public Works and New Orleans RTA in his in-box when Katrina hit.

Best Hopes,

Alan

Hello AlanfromBigEasy,

I consider you one of the TOD PTB for your tireless efforts at promoting RRs & Mass-transit. Because of your postings: I can't imagine anyone on TOD locally voting down an urban transit proposal. I hope your endeavors and influence continue to grow--keep up the good fight!

I agree, though I think a strong Mass-transit program needs to include an emphasis on car pooling with electrified cars.
