The people of Cincinnati, Ohio spoke and they did not elect Ms Yvette Simpson as their mayor. They elected the same Mayor who is running the town today and he is very hostile to the streetcar. This means most likely Phase 2 of the Cincinnati Bell Connector Streetcar will most likely not get built, at least for the next 4 years.
Phase 2 of the Cincinnati Bell Streetcar would of cost over 200 million dollars. And the mind set of most Cincinnatians is negative to the streetcar. The only way we will ever get the streetcar extension built would be by Federal Money and now that President OBama is gone, it seems highly unlikely that President Trump will support Mass Transportation Bills.
The only way we will probably ever get the Phase 2 of the Streetcar is by the private sector. Cincinnati has some very big companies that may invest in the streetcar -- such as the following:
1. Cincinnati is home to The Kroger (grocery) Company
2. Proctor & Gamble's home base is Cincinnati, Ohio
3. CVS and Walgreens have many stores in Cincinnati, Ohio
4. Many discount stores such as Walmart, Sams, Cosco, etc are here
5. Many eateries, bars, etc are in Cincinnati, Ohio
6. GE has some office and plants in Cincinnati, Ohio
