rail tracks which are hazards to cyclists and pedestrians
And only a complete idiot would consider the tracks to be hazards to cyclists. The tracks are flush to street level so just walk or ride over them.
Fact is that these streetcars are highly efficient.
- They run on electricity, instead of diesel so < air pollution
- Existing street cars were built about 25 years ago and will continue running for another 10-15 years;
- The double length ones carry more passengers;
- Overall, very cost effective.
While it is true that a delay on the line can cause the streetcars to back up, the same can be said for any rail transit line. So it's a non-starter.
