[Lincolnparkdc] Fwd: False Statement. — Design of Intersection Ky/13/ind

[hfkdc at aol.com]

Trolleys  (street cars) that ran around Lincoln Park went to car barn at East Capitol ( in the current condos named CAR BARN) and turned around.  I believe that the trolleys that turned around at Barney Circle went out PA Ave SE.  I never remember any trolleys on Independence, but only remember back to 1957.Hazel Kreinheder

Diana Quinn and Sharon Raimo have raised the issue of where there had been trolley routes on Capitol Hill. 
I had sent this message to more limited audience earlier today regarding whether there had been a trolley turn around at Ky/13/IND.

Subject: False Statement. — Design of Intersection Ky/13/ind



Will asserted just before last night‘s meeting that the reason there was so much pavement at this intersection was that it was a former trolley turn around. He repeated it during the meeting when questioned about it. 
I have on my bookcase a book on 100 Years of Capital Traction. It has in many maps. Below is map as of 1925. it shows the old 40 route coming east from the Capitol to Lincoln Park (where the trolleys turned around) and the extension to the car barn on the north side of East Cap between 14th and 15th. 
No streetcars at the Ky/13/IND intersection
Given this I have to wonder how many other inaccurate statements were also asserted last night.
