  2. Meanwhile, the City took 8 years to install updated street lights in Santa Fe neighborhood after PIAC approved the improvements in 2010. Unbelievable.

  4. Have they figured out how to get the streetcar up the hills south of Pershing and north of Cleaver?

    If you look on the Manufacturer's website, you will find that their technology only works on a 3% or less gradient, and a look at the other places that have installed this technology reveals that they all share very flat terrain.

    Be prepared for the next crisis in this ongoing sage, all the streetcars themselves, and probably all the installed track, are going to have to be replaced with something that can climb a hill.
