No, really, this train is bound for Charlotte
Charlotte, N.C. — you now the city where that light rail car is headed — is applying for $25 million in federal funds to build a streetcar line.
That would be on top of the light rail system.
The Charlotte Observer reports that city council voted 7-4 on Monday to apply for a grant that would pay for most of the cost of constructing a 1.5-mile line.
The newspaper also noted that three Republicans on the council and one Democrat voted in favor.
