Please Comment - Streetcars of Columbus Ohio

Today the Columbus Dispatch reported that,

"Hockey fans, concert goers and people who drive Downtown would pay the biggest share if Columbus goes ahead with a $103 million streetcar line on High Street."

Taken off the hook in the financing plan endorsed yesterday by Mayor Michael B. Coleman: hotel guests, diners and bar patrons, movie buffs and people in the cheap seats at the new Columbus Clippers baseball stadium.

Coleman plans to send a proposal to the City Council before the end of the year in which the city would add a 4 percent surcharge on tickets to most concerts and sporting events within six blocks of the streetcar route.

Another 4 percent surcharge would affect people parking in lots and garages along the line from Downtown to Ohio State University, and parking-meter rates in the area would rise an average of 75 cents per hour.

Does anyone here in Columbus think this is a bad idea?

Will it just benefit the Short North and OSU proposed route or will it benefit the whole city?

I'd like to learn everyones thoughts.
