It's been 10 years since Cincinnati's streetcar, known as the Connector, hit the tracks. Traversing between Downtown and Over-the-Rhine, the transportation system serves over 1 million people per year on its 3.6-mile track.
Over the years since it's been built, and long before the project came to fruition, there have been supporters and critics. The project cost $144.6 million to build and costs millions each year to operate.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the 10th anniversary of the Cincinnati Connector streetcar — where it's been and what could be in store for its future.
All Aboard Ohio will celebrate one decade of the Cincinnati streetcar on Saturday, Sept. 12. Details are available online.
Guests:
- Mark Jeffreys, Cincinnati City Councilmember
- Lori Burchett, deputy director of streetcar services in the Department of Transportation & Engineering, City of Cincinnati
- John Schneider, civic entrepreneur
