Official timeline finally released

For returning streetcar service to St Charles Avenue, that is. And only a full year behind schedule. Also there's this.
Pre-Katrina, the line popular with Uptown residents and tourists operated 24 hours a day, she said. Its post-Katrina hours will be 5:27 a.m. until 11:55 p.m.

Why is that, exactly? Oh yeah, we really aren't trying to run an actual city with a functioning transit system anymore but are happy to have our museum pieces available for the amusement of the tourists.

Of course, in order to run a functioning city you'd have to rehire more of that civilian labor force you laid off to cope with the "emergency" two years ago. But we all know that money is much better spent on highly paid consultants, right?
