The Fern?ndez government has announced the city of Santo Domingo will get a tramway next year as part of efforts to modernize public transport in the capital city. The government has said that financing from the project will come from the French government. The tramway will cross Santo Domingo West-East on the John F. Kennedy Avenue, in a northern area of Santo Domingo. This avenue connects with the Autopista Duarte, the nation’s main thoroughfare that in turn connects cities and towns from the south to the north. President Leonel Fern?ndez has scheduled an official trip to France and other European nations next year.
