I'd also repeat the comment I got from that e squared about Portland's streetcar. There is a perception with developers, that if you build projects on the expectation of transit oriented development - you get better buy in when it's permanent track transportation because you can move bus and BRT routes with ease. Train, LRT and subway - not so much.

If you put a streetcar in, I suspect you would get the same reception in HRM. The question would be whether or not you'd get the $3 billion in private investment that Portland did, around their streetcar. I suspect overtime, HRM could definately get that or more...

We are kinda getting off topic of the thread - since this is about the sisters sites, but related (and not). So I'm also going to post this map and more details in the rail discuss thread.
