Anacostia streetcar routing change

Greater Greater Washington reports, in "Streetcar will run through Anacostia, not to Bolling" that DDOT has changed the route to be constructed to be more useful, one that actually serves population.

(In the summer, David Alpert of Greater Greater Washington, Jason Broehm of Sierra Club, and myself testified at length about the streetcar planning agenda in the city and with regard to plans for Anacostia. See "Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space: If you build it (streetcars) does economic development magically happen?" It was a rare instance where the advocates were treated as experts, and we spent an hour or more at the witness table.)
