Kansas City, MO Star column, 6/18/14:

The streetcars planned for downtown Kansas City are bound to challenge area drivers and residents on parking and when to yield the right of way to the glass and steel newcomers.

Kansas City Streetcar project facing 'critical' issue

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A spokesperson for Kansas City confirmed the streetcar project is facing a critical problem.

CAF USA Inc., the company responsible for manufacturing the streetcars, may not have the cars ready in time for the project to wrap up in the spring.

Another ding on CAF which is also delaying production on Cincinnati's  streetcars. The anti-rail transit crowd is gonna love this. :(

Editorial: Has streetcar maker jilted us?

To: CAF USA, Streetcar builder, Elmira, New York

Hi, CAF. It’s me, Cincinnati.

I’m writing you this letter because at this point, I don’t know what else to do. Forgive me if I seem a little emotional, but I’m at my wit’s end, missing you. No matter how hard I try to get in touch and find out what’s going on, you no longer respond. You are making our streetcars, and I want us to go through this experience together, especially if you might miss your due date.

Streetcar maker promises delivery by Halloween

The company making Cincinnati's streetcars won't make the September delivery date, but in a letter to city officials Friday promised the first car would arrive by end of October.
