As plans move forward for TramLink BR, the streetcar line planned for the Nicholson Corridor between LSU and downtown, the public is being asked to participate in a series of workshops to help determine future development and land use along the proposed 3.4-mile route.
The meetings will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, and will be led by renowned planner John Fregonese, whose Portland, Oregon-based firm is working with the city-parish on the project.

You're making the assumption that the area between LSU & downtown stays as is.
Eta: Which is completely wrong

If it is free, students will use the hell out of it.
IMO though the tram needs to turn up Brightside. It would help lower traffic during rush hour.

I was told the federal gubment is paying for most of it so it will definitely happen.
That will be so awesome for students and for downtown. Great idea. That whole stretch is already starting to improve and this would increase that exponentially.
My dad lives downtown and he said the businesses down there are lobbying HARD for it and there isn't a very good counter argument against it.

It's hard to envision, though, how long it could possibly take for a two mile or so stretch of town that is now basically a dead zone to have enough population to justify the huge expense of and realistically support such an endeavor.

Who's paying the bill?

And I don't think its hard to envision at all. Especially with LSU students frequenting downtown far more, IBM going there, and Tiger Land going to complete shite.

Amen. A perfect boondoggle for politicians and real estate speculators.

When are they going downtown?
They arent going during the day during the week, they dont go during weekdays at night, and they dont go much during the weekends.
Downtown 3rd street on weekend nights is filled with central, zachary, baker etc people. During the week its a ghost town.

And the Water Campus is along the route and already under construction.

Who is going to occupy the Water Campus?
Why do they need a Tram to get to LSU or to Downtown?
Just asking because I don't know and I'm trying to understand where the demand will come from.

Minor thread hijack: Has anyone ever stepped foot in that shitty little bar where that construction is going on? I never even knew it existed until I saw it while walking on Nicholson from the stadium.
