CINCINNATI: A group opposed to a streetcar system in Cincinnati has an alternate plan: old-fashioned-looking trolleys on rubber wheels rather than permanent tracks.
The group says its proposal would cost about $9 million, mostly in private money, compared with about $185 million of taxpayer money for streetcars.
The system would carry passengers about four miles from the downtown business district to the neighborhood where the University of Cincinnati and several hospitals are located.
Trolley backers say their plan wouldn't require streets to be torn up and would be easier to walk away from than streetcars if things don't work out.
Those who favor streetcars says the permanence of the tracks would inspire greater confidence among potential investors.
