Is Wisconsin Ave 4 lanes for the entire route through Georgetown without street parking that takes up the outside lanes? I wonder if left turns would be eliminated so as not to hold up the streetcar behind turning vehicles? Would it make more sense to extend the streetcar up Wisconsin to Massachusetts Ave and then send it up that route to American University before ultimately sending it up Nebraska Ave to Tenleytown where it can terminate? Or is Wisconsin Ave too populated north of Massachusetts Ave/south of Tenleytown to skip over in order to directly serve the AU campus? Also, could the eventual K Street streetcar that will extend west into Georgetown under the Whitehurst be turned north at Wisconsin Ave? In essence you'd have a single streetcar line that ran from Tenleytown all the way to Benning Road via Georgetown, K Street, Union Station, and H Street.
