The Columbus Streetcar was a proposed streetcar system to be located in and close to Downtown Columbus, Ohio, USA. Initially planned to run along High Street, the line would have run for 2.8 miles (4.5 km) and connected the Ohio State campus with the Franklin County Government Center. As of February 2009, the plan is indefinitely on hold. Discussion of a larger scale light rail system which would run along the streetcar route and also connect the northern part of the city to downtown is ongoing.

Famous quotes containing the word columbus:
“Herein is the explanation of the analogies, which exist in all the arts. They are the re-appearance of one mind, working in many materials to many temporary ends. Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakspeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it. Painting was called “silent poetry,” and poetry “speaking painting.” The laws of each art are convertible into the laws of every other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
