Photo collage showing use of the streetcar as a walk extender

Another example of using the streetcar as a walk extender: I took the streetcar to the Plankinton Avenue stop and walked south to Anodyne Walker's Point on W Bruce St for Cafe Astrophysics (see www.cgca.uwm.edu/coffee/). It was about a 1 km walk, took me 12 minutes. The streetcar provided a way for me to go there without walking all the way (I used to allow 50 minutes to walk there). Much more pleasant to use the streetcar as the middle portion of my walk and just walk a moderate amount on each end. The collage here shows the route maps of the streetcar, the walk, the crowd at the free talk (this month's topic, Climate Change 101), and the crowd on the emissions-free (at streetlevel, of course--only a fraction of We Energies electricity is renewable) streetcar ride back. The point: a streetcar can serve needs outside of the 400 meter "walkshed" which is recognized as the service area of a streetcar.
