Does Columbus desire streetcars?

Mayor Mike Coleman has proposed a new streetcar system for downtown Columbus. Up until now he has not gotten the support for the 103 million dollar project that will cost 4 million a year to maintain. What looked to be frivolous a few months ago now looks like the project might not be big enough. The proposed rail is to be a stretch of only of 2.8 miles long.











The project has about 50 percent approval rate. I can imagine this week folks are more receptive to the idea, as gas prices continue to rise. I know that I personally would use the system. It just seems like it should be a system that can be expanded to other parts of the city. Blogroll Me!
