Milwaukee Wants To Extend Streetcar Line For Democratic National Convention

Milwaukee city officials are fighting the clock as they try to add two-point-four miles to the streetcar line by the time the Democratic National Convention comes to town.  The extension would take The Hop all the way to the Wisconsin Center District convention hall.  The Common Council has to approve the plans before work can get started.  The Hop system now includes five streetcars stopping at 18 stations in Milwaukee.
