This may belong in a different thread...
A streetcar down Sandy or Broadway is a vastly better idea than one down MLKJ. As we know streetcars are first a development tool and as a distant second, a transportation tool. Any development on MLK has to mediate the gentrification it brings with it. Trader Joe's on Alberta as it currently stands is an example of development with no considerations for the neighborhood's history. When Williams was razed for the Interstate and Emmanual, this was looked at as progress. The measures of progress are much more complex today.
