Building the tram can help create the need.
The old build it and they will come strategy.
The problem is with limited resources (EBR has to come up with an 85 million dollar match if the Feds give us the other half), if we did have the money there are other things EBR needs far greater than building a Tram in hopes it stimulates the overall economy.
And remember the initial outlay of 170 million (local+Federal) is to build the system, operating costs and expenses would have to be subsidized by taxpayers on a yearly basis.

Versus the old do nothing new and then act surprised when nothing improves strategy?
I'm not saying the Tram proposal was the "be all end all" solution, but honestly it was good to see BR at least ATTEMPT to do things differently. The status quo sure isn't doing anyone any good.
