I just read the earlier parts of the thread. The streetcar is a recommendation by the planners. The whole master plan is a footprint for future development. The budget for the streetcar is rounded to $8 million per mile, so the three miles represented in the mater plan will require $24 million.

Homer Williams statements about their rail car in Portland would lead us to believe the $24 million investment would be well spent here! Another statement by Homer I really liked was "Give me four corners and I'll give you a neighborhood!"

Definitely we are shaping an area of downtown into a spectacular neigborhood for San Antonians. We have dreamnt this turns us so well that town planners from across America and abroad will come to learn how to do it right - just as we have gone to see places like Portland's Pearl District, Denver, Dallas, Vancouver, Barcelona and others.

I would like for River North to develop in such a way that you and I would insist in living there.
