Rebuilding New Orleans with Light Rail Transit

How would you rebuild New Orleans? What kind of transit? Where would you put it?

The landmark status of the St Charles line will prevent it from being upgraded to "light rail". The Riverfront line and Canal Street are the newest light rail vehicles in North America, even newer than the Breda cars.

Your question is like asking when will they make the cable lines ADA accessable.

Hi All,

The question appears to be a bit premature. Before you rebuild a transit system, where necessary, you need to replace the people that lived there. They have to have a place to commute FROM. After that, they need a place that they need to commute TO. Until that is achieved commuting is irrelevant. Fortunately my favorite line, the St. Charles line is intact. Providing that the area, and the canal st area become safe from levee breaches again, things will work out. My essential question here is, What happened to all that money that was collected and supposedly spent to undo all that damage ??? Did bureaucrats make out like bandits, and Jacques Zajacques wind up with empty pockets, empty stomach, and a wife and kids screaming for something to eat ? And still, no place to sleep ?
