THIS. It can be an at grade solution. It wouldn't even take many trams. Top 10 surface roads traversed. Commuter parking lots would be necessary, but still beneficial in lessening traffic.

The dirty wish would be to develop on parking lots and fill in on these empty parking lots.

It'd truly drive them mad to have even a few charging stations there.

Honest question, is traffic really an issue many people face in town?

Like I get it if you're travelling home to Nixa at 5pm. But I've lived here many many years in all different parts of Springfield and I've never had to deal with more than 15 minutes by car.

Compared to major cities around us, STL KC, our traffic just isn't that bad, in my opinion.
