Riverside living is very popular around the world. Urban industrial areas are still important land uses as well.

Unfortunatly, the Kent Avenue streetcar, interurban or tram-train was discontinued in the 1950s.

It seemed like such a good idea in the 1950s, remove the streetcars and tram-trains.

With several narrow streets and mostly narrow bridges, having a comprehensive regional rail system is imperative.
