St. Augustine, Fla., is considering a narrow-gauge heritage streetcar operation, roughly paralleling U.S. Route 1 and linking several traffic generating sites within the municipality.
The proposal, first disclosed publicly this spring by Historic City News website, is being aided by a so-far unnamed designer of track and overhead wire systems.
Last September the St. Augustine Mobility Institute held a weeklong series of public seminars addressing the city’s mobility challenges. The institute is a partnership between the city and the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization, the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for four counties, with Kansas City, Mo.-based HNTB cosponsoring the event and the subsequent report.
