 Stakeholder quotes from the Oct. 20 meeting:

"Bicycles could be far more used if you had a streetcar system."

"Unless a community wants to move into a direction of higher density, it won?t happen on its own.  Streetcar systems to provide a community a tool they can use to reduce its carbon footprint, greenhouse gasses? but, the community has to buy into it and want it.  I think this community is moving in this direction."

"A streetcar can enrich our city in a very positive way.  We are moving into the direction of more residential downtown. A streetcar helps support that and is a fall out of that."
