The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started a study to determine the feasibility of a running a streetcar route in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook. This initial analysis will help determine if this mode, once a staple of New York City's streets, is a viable method of connecting the residents and businesses of Red Hook with Brooklyn's broader transportation network and supporting economic development in the area. DOT will produce several interim reports, leading up to a final report. This document focuses primarily on similar designs in Portland, Seattle, and Philadelphia.
