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.

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.

Hopefully it'll have a bike rack on the front for all the stolen bikes

I think the businesses and property owners downtown should fund this if they want it so badly. Maybe a sales and property tax to at least fund initial capital expenditures.
