Looks like Cincinnati is one of six cities as part of the Urban Circulator Program. Part of the Obama Administration's Livability Program, the Urban Circulator will provides grants and should allow the streetcar initiative in Cincinnati to finally get going. Now to actually have some destinations for these streetcars. I don't understand the obsession Cincinnati city councils have historically had with north/south access routes to the exclusion of all else. For those who don't live in the Queen City, you can travel in a north/south direction fairly easily (minus congestion) but just try to go from Delhi to Madeira (west to east). You could drive from downtown Cincinnati to Middletown or even Dayton in less time. Hopefully the streetcars will address some of the gaps of east/west travel in Cincinnati. After all, we decided to have the "flying pig" as our mascot so I guess anything can happen here.

The east - west bus routes aren't even very good.
