In​ the​ earliest​ days​ of​ Fargo,​ streetcars​ were​ common​ sights.​ Early​ postcards​ of​ Fargo​ prominently​ feature​ the​ Fargo​ &​ Moorhead​ Street​ Railway​ System.​ The​ last​ car​ ran​ in​ 1937.​

With​ wide​ streets​ and​ an​ ever​ expanding​ city​ boundary,​ a​ streetcar​ system​ would​ provide​ an​ alternate​ means​ of​ mass​ transit​ --​ environmentally​ friendly​ and​ forward​ thinking​ --​ and​ a​ unique​ transportation​ experience​ if​ done​ right.​ Make it electric to keep our air clean. Get​ it​ done​ sooner​ rather​ than​ later,​ before​ density​ becomes​ an​ issue.​ Connect​ the​ system​ to​ the​ Fargodome,​ shopping​ hubs,​ the​ airport,​ and​ bus​ terminals,​ thereby​ creating​ an​ interconnected​ system​ of​ mass​ transportation​ options.

Tip​ the​ hat​ to​ Fargo's​ heritage,​ attract​ some​ tourists,​ and​ make​ a​ small​ profit​ to​ boot.
