It's a neat idea, but should come after lots of other more critical transportation infrastructure components are built.
The problem is that the funding for the Cincinnati Streetcar is being shifted to lower priority projects...that aren't in Cincinnati.

This isn't saving any money, and it won't fund the police or fire departments (it never could since capital budgets cannot fund operating expenses). It's a giant middle finger to the city from Columbus.
