    <dc:creator>taestell</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["[Cranley] told regional political, business and transportation leaders at the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments' annual luncheon on Tuesday that the Tea Party's opposition to tolls is 'odd.' [...] Cranley said during a mayoral debate in September that he did not support tolls for the project, and wanted federal money to be used for the bridge instead of the city's streetcar project. However, he said Tuesday it may take tolls to get the bridge project done."]]></description>

Curb level boarding means easy access for people with wheelchairs, visual impairments, walkers, or other mobility issues. Unlike a bus, they can enter the streetcar independently without the driver having to stop to assist them. Curb level boarding is also helpful for people with strollers, young children, or luggage."]]></description>
