I would hope that a defeat at the ballot box despite their best efforts to gerrymander another TDD, coupled with a new City Council, could bring sensibility back to City Hall before we're mired in bond obligations and boutique transit that we'll be paying for LONG after the citizens lose interest in it.<br /><br />I promise you that the only reason cities continue to add extensions is because they have to provide numbers that indicate ridership increases to justify the project. A two mile streetcar will exceed expectations initially, but if we prevent extensions, you'll see those numbers drop significantly after a few years, and that throw's a wrench in the streetcar propaganda that these salesmen pitch to one city after another. They will do anything possible to prevent that from happening, so we need an informed and active electorate. Kansas City; 10% turnout is pathetic.Bryan M.

A VERY expensive fad when the city commits hundreds of millions of dollars which will take decades to pay the debt so that a few elected folks can make believe they're riding the latest wave created by the urban futurist consulting class.<br />Kind of like taking on $200 million worth of debt on the bet that bellbottom pants or disco balls will be around forever.<br />All aboard!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-23505534035435100282013-12-23T16:03:32.388-06:002013-12-23T16:03:32.388-06:00This is going to end up being a very expensive fad...This is going to end up being a very expensive fad.
