Streetcar Feasibility Studies Begin

The first public meeting to begin studying the feasibility of bringing streetcars back to Tacoma was earlier this week.

If it’s built, will people ride it? How much will it cost? Where will it go? How will it fit in with the rest of Tacoma’s public transportation infrastructure? And will it spur redevelopment in business districts along its route?

Those were just a few of the questions posed last night during the first meeting of an advisory committee of Tacoma residents, transit planners, and City Hall staff tasked with determining the feasibility of creating a historic streetcar system in Tacoma.

Meetings are expected to continue through April.

How did I miss this meeting?  I’m now discovering that absolutely all of you were there…  Any feedback from those that were there?
