Streetcar would provide improvement for everyone current homeowners with rising property values..new comers who can transit to work easily and tourist increased activity with improved revenues…

Those who oppose the project are just too old to manage the new city of Miami…

If they are concerned about new development they should limit its hight and the time needed to develop…but dont give fake excuses on transit…cause that is what miami really needs,,,

The City of Miami cannot handle a $200 Mil project. Miami is broke, Crist is proposing tax cuts and the City of Miami cannot manage construction projects without massive cost overruns.

With trolleys going east and west to specified useful stops. <br/><br/>I am incredibly distrustful of any capital "improvement" project managed by the City of Miami or Miami-Dade County. On Feb 10th the Herald reported that Miami-Dade County lost another $22 Mil. A Grand Jury blamed the County Commissioners for being "asleep"...<br/><br/>Perhaps when we get better managers...?

If his plans go through Floridians will see their taxes reduced by $5 Bil over 5 years. That means cities and counties will take in $5 Bil less over 5 years. Someone has to take fiscal responsibility. Who can pay for massive cost overruns? Especially if tax revenues to cities and counties will go down?<br/>Respect Sarnoff and Regalado.
