Did you hear that Georgetown is getting a streetcar? Well, not really, but kind of.

Georgetown Patch reports that today is the ribbon-cutting on the 19-month-long restoration project on O and P Streets NW, during which short stretches of traditional cobbled streets were upgraded and streetcar tracks that once formed part of a network crisscrossing the city were rehabilitated. The whole project—which included work on water mains and streetlights—cost an estimated $12 million.

The new tracks won’t actually be used for streetcars, but merely serve as a historic reminder of the streetcars that ran through Georgetown from 1873 to 1962. From 1903 to 1960, streetcars ran along O Street from Wisconsin Avenue to 35th Street and on P Street from Wisconsin to 36th Street.

Apart from the historic tracks, D.C. officials are planning on integrating Georgetown into the city’s planned 37-mile streetcar network that should take shape next year with the inauguration of the 2.2-mile-long H Street NE segment. The H Street line will eventually cross the city along K Street, ending in Georgetown under the Whitehurst Freeway.
