Columbus Streetcar
The Columbus Streetcar was a proposed streetcar system to be located in and close to Downtown Columbus, Ohio, USA. Initially planned to run along High Street, the line would have run for and connected the Ohio State campus with the Franklin County Government Center. As of February 2009, the plan is indefinitely on hold. Discussion of a larger scale light rail system which would run along the streetcar route and also connect the northern part of the city to downtown is ongoing.
==Plans for a modern system==
Initially proposed in a February 2006 State of the City speech by Mayor Michael Coleman, the new system is touted as a tool to connect the various sections of downtown as well as promote development. On 22 March 2006, the mayor convened a working group consisting of various political and business leaders as well as community stakeholders to investigate the feasibility of returning streetcars to the city. Initially, three routes were proposed. A Blue line route would run along High Street from Frankfort Street in German Village to Buttles Avenue in the Short North. A Red line route would extend the blue line north to 11th Avenue adjacent to the Ohio State campus. A Green Line (initially called the Z-line) would run in a Z pattern from the Arena District to the Discovery District around the Main Library. After the results of the economic study showed 3,000 new downtown jobs, 300 hotel rooms and 1,500 new housing units from the most conservative standpoint, the working group voted overwhelmingly in favor of pursuing a streetcar system in Columbus.
Unlike recently built systems in Kenosha and Little Rock, the Columbus system will not use vintage cars or equipment. Media reports have often used the term "trolley" to describe the new system, to which Mayor Coleman has publicly stated his dislike. He cited the fact that the system will use modern cars similar to the Portland Streetcar, and will not be intended as a tourist attraction.
The proposal has gained support from organizations such as the Columbus chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Experience Columbus, the Ohio Rail Development Commission, COTA, the Building Owners and Managers Association of Columbus, and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission.〔 〕 In a survey of 1,000 downtown residents, employees, and students, 73% said they would ride the streetcar if it were built.〔 〕 Ridership is projected to be between 5,000 and 7,200 riders per day depending on the final route chosen.
