First off, DTSerge, nice job on the Alhambra & T rendering...even though it sucked, it's still 10 times better than the current proposal.
I hear the talk of the street car from Sac City officials would run in a 'U' shaped configuration approximately along Front St. to Broadway to Alhambra (serving Serge's alternative lifestyle club condo...there's your name; "Club Condo"). But the City of West Sac has been the real champion behind this streetcar effort.
So while we all want to see a streetcar line serve Midtown and DT Sac, West Sac will definately be in the initial track configuration. And really, why shouldn't they be. West Sac is actually building high density housing in their DT grid, while Sac is struggling to keep its pretty pictures from joining Metro Place in the R.I.P. pile.
Now, please don't take this as a pessimistic view on Sac, I'm a true beleiver that we will overcome. But at the same time, don't discount the progress that our little sister across the river has made in recent years. For instance;

All the while, Sac has many many many plans in place, please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only new condo/townhouse for sale project actually being built in Sactown
