Cincinnati, OH Enquirer, 11/28/10:

The Cincinnati streetcar, the controversial $128 million plan that has traveled a bumpy path from the start, faces more potential rocky spots in 2011, including a possible second attempt to derail it on the ballot.

This is where you can find the full story.

Cincinnati, OH Enquirer, 3/18/11:

Doubt that the Cincinnati streetcar would create the thousands of jobs that supporters and economic studies predict is the major reason his administration wants to withhold nearly $52 million in funding for the project, Gov. John Kasich said Friday.

Article here. Will his next rallying cry be: "That streetcar is dead!" ???

Streetcar foes rally just in time
Push for signatures moves issue closer to ballot


Opponents of the Cincinnati streetcar have stepped up their petition signature drive and now appear likely to place a proposed charter amendment to block the $95 million-plus project before voters this fall.
...
"Just the idea that this might fall a little short really motivated and energized people," said local NAACP president Christopher Smitherman. "We're going to close this deal."

Editorial in Cincinnati, OH Business Courier, 1/6/12:

The city hasn’t yet set a groundbreaking date for the Cincinnati streetcar project, but that seems to be more a matter of scheduling than concern over the project’s future.

Letters to the Editor of Cincinnati, OH Enquirer, both pro and con:

I'm a bit confused by the Buffalo comments, but maybe it was a mistake made by the publication. Buffalo has a light rail line, not a streetcar, and it has some heavy rail characteristics with its tunnel running. In a sense one is comparing apples to oranges here.

It seems odd construction would start on a Friday of a holiday weekend. That means work won't resume until 2-21. PR-wise, IMO, it would be better to kick off at the beginning of a full work so that city residents will see some progress rather than a day's effort. Progress would strengthen community support.
