If you build it...
Historic streetcar photo from the City's feasibility study.
The City of Cincinnati is considering a streetcar system (via Planetizen). The project is estimated at $102 M, according to a recent feasibility study commissioned by the city. The city is banking on the streetcar attracting investment in the downtown, including the storied Over-the-Rhine neighborhood where the streetcar would stop at the historic Findlay Market. The proposal is meeting some resistance from people who point out that the city is already carrying a deficit of $29M. So question is if you build it, will the people, businesses, investments come? The streetcar idea worked great in Portland and Tampa, will it work for Cincinnati?
