No it won't. What will make car-lite living appealing for people in the urban core, will be a bus system that actually provides frequent service, and service late into the night, to more than a 2 mile stretch of the city.
What I find interesting is the almost no mention on here at all of the service improvements the Cincinnati Metro Bus made in August, to provide more frequent service on busy routes, and enhanced crosstown service, because most people are not traveling downtown.
Those changes will do a lot more to improve mobility.
The streetcar is nice and all, but if we are going to really improve mobility, then we gotta actually improve the service that touches the entire metro area.
