The streetcars of old Milwaukee

An article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel anticipating yesterday's vote to delay consideration of the proposed downtown streetcar included this map of the Proposed streetcar route. It shows the initial route, route extensions, and potential future extensions.

Some critics have applied the term '19th century' to the proposal. While the streetcars would be modern designs, not what are called Heritage or Vintage, the routes do bear a resemblance to those of Milwaukee Streetcars - 1892.
