It kills me that pretty much every city in North America pulled out street cars. I watched a documentary years ago and don't recall the details exactly but the jest of it was GM bought up pretty much every public transit under the guise of improving them, but actually tore every street car out more or less overnight as they saw it as a threat to car production.
I know when the streets get real bad in the winter, especially on the far West end of Water St you can see the old tracks in potholes. It would be amazing to see them bring back a street car service for Water and Duckworth. It would certainly help with parking and would be a big tourism draw and easy transit for anyone staying in hotels.
