What do you think of when you hear the word "streetcar"? 1950s Paris? The modern-day urban transportation mecca that is Portland, Ore.? Marlon Brando?Apparently, Mayor Martin Chavez thinks of Central Avenue, where he’s planning to lay down some rails and implement a brand-new streetcar system. I received a press release this morning for the project, which lists public comment meetings for "world-class streetcars running along Central Avenue from Old Town to Nob Hill and from Central Avenue to the Sunport." If you’re interested in going, here are the specifics for the meetings: Central Avenue: Tingley to I-25 Wednesday, Sept. 206:30 to 8:30 p.m.Alvarado Transportation Center, First Street and Central Central Avenue: I-25 to Carlisle Tuesday, Sept. 266:30 to 8:30 p.m.Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Carlisle and Central Central Avenue to Sunport Wednesday, Sept. 276:30 to 8:30 p.m.Heights Community Center, Coal and Buena Vista If you have any questions, call 830-5462 or visit the city’s website.
