Milwaukee's moon shot

The City has committed itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of putting a man on a streetcar to the Intermodal Station and returning him safely to the lower east side.

The Environmental Assessment (2.1 Project Background, p. 7) said,

"The Milwaukee Streetcar project originated from the Milwaukee Connector Study that was initiated to carry out transit recommendations from previous transportation planning efforts during the 1990’s."

Mary Spicuzza reports in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,

"Initially, it was anticipated that the city would break ground on the project by late 2015, but the groundbreaking now is expected to occur sometime in spring 2016."
