Streetcar Plans

An active group in San Diego is advancing plans to bring historic streetcars to the city's North Park district. The district's Main Street group is planning the system to achieve economic development benefits, to enhance transportation, to serve as a tourist attraction, and to preserve local heritage. A feasibility study has been completed to support the project.

For details about the plan and to see an extract of the feasibility study, refer to the group's website:

• North Park Main Street Streetcar Project

After this project failed to attract funding, another plan surfaced to run streetcars on part of the city's light rail system through downtown. The following notes from Rail Transit Online  describe this planning:

• September 2005
   
• November 2005
   
• January 2006
