(Reposting since I originally posted in wrong forum) 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.
