'Learn how to walk again'

 

CINCINNATI - It didn’t take long for developers to learn the new streetcar calculus: More people riding the rails means fewer dollars spent on parking structures.

Cincinnati’s Streetcar and a Downtown Revival

By the time the first passengers boarded Cincinnati’s streetcar in September, its advocates had already been on a wild 15-year ride that included surviving two ballot initiatives to derail the project.

With political battles now largely in its rearview mirror, the streetcar has arrived at a key time in Cincinnati, where a revival of the city center is already well underway. The streetcar logged its first 250,000 rides in just over two months, helped by curiosity over the streetcar and an ongoing real estate development boom in the neighborhoods along the 3.6-mile (5.8 km) route: the Banks, downtown, and Over-the-Rhine.
