While I was home in Cincy I had a conversation with some people in my family about the streetcar that is being put in there and it was driving my up a wall how much they were against it and how their arguments were based off completely made up numbers. Is there a quick “cheat-sheet†out there on streetcar/light rail facts so when these false arguments are brought up again I can have a rebuttal based on fact and not made up numbers?

I imagine that the facts and stats vary from project to project.
There was a FAQ in the Dispatch on the Columbus Streetcar in May 2008:

And here's the Construction Impact Memo on the Columbus Streetcar by HDR Engineering, from April 2008:

Thanks Walker, I wish some people from here could have been there to back me up; it was pretty much me vs. about 3 people (all agreeing with each other on false information)
