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.
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
