Re: Convention Center
^^ for the success of the streetcar, this is a MUST-BE scenario.
As was mentioned, most residents and definitely ALL visitors have no idea about the streetcar or what the city is doing transit wise UNTIL THEY SEE IT. If Sunday is the day where nearly everyone has time off, we need to have all amenities available to not only use but to educate and inform. I'm not saying the streetcar needs to be running at rush hour frequencies; just maybe something like 9am-8pm with 30-minute headways maybe greater during the afternoon period - just enough to get noticed by the odd resident coming downtown or visitor whose only here for the weekend. Perhaps they'll use it but if not I can guarantee you they'll remember it and spread the word.
That's much better than, "OKC had some rails in the streets but I didn't see any trains - what a waste of money"
