There is an article in today's TD concerning established a trolley system for Florence.  http://www.timesdaily.com/news...af-8fd9cc1a0cf9.html

The old system ran from Florence across the old railway bridge to Sheffield and Tuscumbia.  I had forgotten the Florence part.  I see a UNA professor suggested the new system.  Nothing against academics, but they need to consider the cost for such projects, as well. 

 

 

 

If it were an economics professor and not one who teaches geography, then I would listen. I don't live in Florence, so if folks there want to squander money on an expensive railed trolley/street car system; go for it! If it were me, I would only support such an idea if it were wholly owned and operated by a private company; no subsidies.

Geography  may be more to the point.  Just how wide are the streets of Florence to accommodate a trolley running down the middle?  Will they have to take up the sidewalks?  Anybody got a picture of that same location today to show dual lane modern traffic, etc?
