Public Forum Tonight On Cincinnati Streetcar Plan

Tri-State residents have a chance to weigh in on a plan to build a streetcar system around Downtown.

Cincinnati used to have a streetcar system, but it stopped running in 1951.  Last week, city council approved a plan to build a new system that would eventually connect Downtown, Uptown and Over-the-Rhine.

The Blue Chip Young Republicans will be hosting a public forum on the issue Monday night.  The forum will be at Monty's at 4108 Montgomery Road starting at 7 p.m.

Among the issues to be discussed is the question of how the system will be funded.
