Pat Fischer on Streetcars
Public Transportation Is A Key Component Of A Thriving City
Other cities are significantly ahead of Cincinnati in the use of public transportation. I support a complete streetcar system as proposed from downtown to uptown. It must connect downtown and uptown though to be a worthwhile project. Given the City's budget constraints, it is imperative that the funding for this project be in place before it begins. I support the City administration's continued efforts to work on the financing options.

Post a Comment*The economic impact of the downtown only line would be 14 to 1. $102 million dollars invested would lead to $1.4 billion dollars. While I agree that going to uptown would be great and would allow the streetcar to impact the city in an even more positive manner, stimulating $1.4 billion dollars of investment in Cincinnati's core is a worthwhile investment regardless of the streetcar making it to uptown.
