One thing that crossed my mind during a recent visit to Pullen Park — what if we had a people mover downtown that was kind of like the train in park? Not something like light rail, but some really bare bones that just… moves people (the R-line isn’t really serving that function right now).
There’s already some rail right of way running along the western portion of downtown and it goes to Dix Park.
I know there’s probably a thousand reasons this would never work, but a guy can dream!
