Franklin Conaway:
Making the Case for a Return of Streetcars in Nashville

Franklin Conaway is a national consultant specializing in urban redevelopment and passenger rail planning. He is currently working on streetcar assessments in several cities, and has evolved a twenty-point checklist on conditions that must be in place for a streetcar system to be successful. Lo and behold, he finds that Nashville is a very strong candidate for streetcar viability. Mr. Conaway will make his case at this special workshop presentation, and then respond to questions and comments from the audience. Could the return of streetcars, on at least a limited basis, be in Nashville's future?

The general public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
Wednesday, May 7th at 5:15 p.m.
