Yesterday U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood informed us that the President has called a special meeting in DC tomorrow that requires his attendance. Secretary LaHood was very apologetic and clearly communicated that he wants to reschedule a Fort Worth tour. But unfortunately, he cannot make it this week. However, in partnership with the Trinity River Vision Authority, we are excited to be unveiling a special surprise for the community - A real modern streetcar!
At least some council members realize the issue with yet another additional addition to the Trinity River Vision...from the Star-Telegram.com
At issue is whether the city should accept a $25 million grant, and add another $58 million to $63 million in local property tax funds, to build an electrified streetcar rail system from downtown to the Trinity River Vision project on the North Side, and to the medical district on the Near South Side.
Several council members say the city can’t afford to spend public dollars on a project that is aimed more at sparking urban development than relieving traffic, especially at a time when the city is slashing city services and laying off workers to make ends meet.
Will this new fangled mode of transport take me out of FW and have enough space basic furnishings from a two bedroom abode? Most anywhere away from the FW Way will do.
