CINCINNATI, OHIO - FEBRUARY 17, 2013 - Six Members of Council and the Mayor are pushing the SORTA Board to expand language that would include funding for the streetcar. This decision will be negative to bus routes over the long term. The majority of bus riders are African Americans in Cincinnati. Bus riders have seen fares go higher and routes reduced over the last 5 years. "The streetcar is not in the interest of our members. We remain concerned by the lack of basic financial common sense at City Hall," President Smitherman said. |

CINCINNATI, OHIO - FEBRUARY 17, 2013 - This week the City Administration announced that the lowest bid for building the streetcar was double the estimates presented to the public over the last 4 years. These "real" estimates confirm that the estimates provided by the broad coalition against the streetcar were accurate over the past 4 years. Unfortunately the cost is even more expensive than $151-$180 million reported. These numbers do not include the full cost of utility movement nor interest on the $64 million of debt to build the streetcar. "City Hall has been intentional in misleading the public on the cost of a 3 1/2 mile streetcar. This project continues to undermine the long term solvency of the City of Cincinnati. Bankruptcy is not progress," President of the Cincinnati NAACP said. |
