If it's "feasible" why does the government have to do it, and why not put a tax up for a vote? http://debunkingportland.com/ |

Post subject: | Re: Streetcars |
here is my question pinhead and it's legit, from a lazy researcher -- are there any studies that show street cars are a bad idea out there? and are all the positive ones from cities that maybe had govt officials wanting the studies to come out positive in some way? just thinking the pot of studies out there might be slanted in some way maybe.. i dunno.. just throwing it out there. |

I don't think the buses are 'stigmatized' because people are scared to learn schedules and get transfers. I think they are stigmatized because there can be some downright scary folks that take the buses and/or hang around bus stops. Especially the #2. I got harassed on a fairly regular basis last summer when I waited for the #2 or #4 to pick me up outside the statehouse. The bus costs $2.50. If the streetcars cost less than that, I'm pretty sure there will be some unsavory characters who will also ride them. |

Street Cars can be good, or they can be bad. It all depends how they are designed, mapped, out and utilized. Forgive me for not reading the entire thread, but the proposal for C-Bus, will it keep the road way car and pedestrian friendly? If not, that's what killed Main Street in Memphis TN for awhile. The only way to get up and down Main was the street car. Businesses started to move away and it really deterred people from being on Main St. Streetcars tend to work better when they aid transportation and not dominate it. |

Is there any visual proposals on how it will work, logistics? I would like to see what it looks like in relation to how it will fit on the street. |
