The D.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to extend its planned streetcar line in Southeast by about six-tenths of a mile, adding another $20 million to the project and taking the system into historic Anacostia via Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

The demonstration streetcar line linking Bolling Air Force Base, the Navy Annex, Barry Farm and Anacostia will now end after 2 miles at the intersection of Good Hope Road and MLK Avenue, rather than the Anacostia Metro Station. The change balloons the project’s $45 million budget to about $65 million.
