Information AboutH Street |
|
H Street, NE, was the route of one of Washington's oldest Streetcar lines, and ridership peaked at 3.3 million riders a month. H Street was also the location of the first Sears Roebuck store in Washington. Businesses in the corridor were severely damaged during the 1968 Riots and the region has never fully recovered. The DC Government has chosen the area for future revitalization efforts. In Northwest , H Street is the main street in Chinatown and one of the major east-west streets downtown. When Pennsylvania Avenue was closed to vehicular traffic in front of the White House , the crosstown traffic that had formerly used Pennsylvania Avenue was rerouted to H and I streets. EXTERNAL LINKS
