The Nicholson corridor streetcar plan

How is this not a topic yet?

Official plan documentation

Historical Context

In recent news

 

Streetcars are back! ...maybe to the capital city of Louisiana. With any public transportation initiative this one is bound to be controversial so grab your popcorn and find a comfy seat.

Welcome to the forum and great find! I didn't even know a preliminary plan had been drawn up yet.

I hope they start on the streetcar this year. I believe when they build this streetcar line more will come. 

I hope when it come that CATS have nothing to do with it. Can't trust CATS to do it the right way.

Welcome to the BR Forum Jackritt18!

 

There was a Nicholson Corridor thread that got lost in the shuffle a page or two back; the Street Car has been talked about plenty on the BR Transportation thread; River District & Water Campus as well as LSU....

 

But you are RIGHT! It deserves it's own topic! THANKS for the visual of the 7 1/2 mile route...that graphic looks better than the ones I had thought about posting

[Mr. Burnham]

Wait is this going to be a legit street car or that trolley joke that currently exists?

[greg225]

suppose to be a modern streetcar so yes it will be a real streetcar different from New Orleans though.

Welcome!

 

Yeah that graphic has been out for a while now, it's somewhere around here.

 

Hopefully not a streetcar and more of a light-rail. Streetcars are light-rail, but light rail goes deeper than streetcars. Something European looking would be cool!
