From the International Herald Tribune: U.S. cities plan to bring back streetcars.


At least 40 other U.S. cities (besides Cincinnati) are exploring streetcar plans to spur economic development, ease traffic congestion and draw young professionals and empty-nest baby boomers back from the suburbs, according to the Community Streetcar Coalition, which includes city officials, transit authorities and engineers who advocate streetcar construction.

Great news! As a former long-time resident of San Francisco, I can attest to the many virtues of streetcars. :thumb:
