STREETCAR STROLL: NOVEMBER

Once a month, Noel Prows organizes a group to walk the route of the Cincinnati Streetcar to view and document the development of light rail in the Queen City. During our previous strolls, we saw the laying of the first rail in Over The Rhine and utility improvements along the 3.6-mile loop.

On our November tour, rail had been laid for several blocks along the route, with the trench now extending up to Liberty Street. New rail is being unloaded every two weeks as route construction ramps up its pace. Crews already encased the first rails in concrete and are laying the granite pavers that made up the cobblestone-looking road outside Music Hall. Electrical and gas line work continues heavily along the line in Over The Rhine, as well as replacement of 300 feet of sewer lines on Elm Street that were leaking due to age.
