Is there a more obvious example of poor planning than that of the Anacostia streetcars? DC ordered the cars for a new streetcar line in Anacostia years ago. Since completion in 2007, the cars have been taking up space at the factory in Prague that produced them, which occasionally takes them out for a spin around town to keep them functioning.
Still - not an inch of track has been lain in Anacostia for these streetcars.... Maybe a few stimulous dollars can be applied to this much-delayed project. Let us hope this project can be successfully completed soon (though the city isn't committing to any timelines at this point).
BeyondDC has some great pics of the trolleys and their paint scheme, which resembles that of the Circulator buses. Link: http://beyonddc.com/log/?p=620
