Just to clear it up right off the bat: this is a crackpot idea inspired by the heat. On that note, I'm currently studying for the summer in Istanbul, Turkey. Here they've recently rebuilt and renovated their old streetcar system (pictures below) in the tourist/shopping section of the city. The result has been spectacular, the streetcars are almost always full, and it really adds a sense of history. It occurred to me that it would be really neat if OKC could open up a small stretch and do something similar. Regrettably i'm sure it's impossible, but it would at least be nice!
