Eine Rückkehr der Tram nach New York wird nun angedacht: http://nyti.ms/1nO76Im

Und es gibt auch schon sehr sinnvolle Kommentare dazu, The New York Times: How to Build a Streetcar That Works – http://nyti.ms/1V2YF6o

It won’t be easy to construct a streetcar worth the money needed to build it. Dedicated lanes and other actions that prioritize transit often run against opposition to reducing space available to cars. People who hold fast to a car-dominated city fight increasing density and reducing parking requirements.

But taking a stand in favor of these measures is vital; without them, the streetcar will be too slow to provide improved transportation for the people who need it, and it will attract too few riders to justify its construction. Devoting more room on our streets to the streetcar and, just as important, to buses, is a policy Mayor de Blasio, and other municipal leaders, would do well to champion.
