From Austin City Connection, September 1, 2008...
The public is invited to attend any of the following meetings to learn about and provide input on the streetcar proposal. The meetings will be organized around the three major segments of the proposed system: the segment along Riverside Drive to ABIA; the segment through the central business district, including the State capitol complex; and the segment that would serve UT, Manor Road, and Mueller. There will be two meetings focusing on each of the segments and the content of each corridor-specific meeting will be the same. After the six meetings, the team will conduct a "Town Hall" type meeting at which we will present a summary of the public input provided to date and receive additional public comment

Streetcar: The Work Plan
From Austin Chronicle, August 15, 2008...
It's full steam ahead! In an Aug. 8 memo to City Council, new Assistant City Manager Sue Edwards laid out an ambitious work plan for developing a full proposal for an urban rail streetcar system. The work plan is based on the system recommended by the ROMA Austin consultant team, presented at council July 24 (see "Developing Stories," Aug. 1). Capital Metro staff will work closely with city staff and ROMA; if approved by its board, Cap Metro will be a joint sponsor of the proposal to be submitted to the Transit Working Group at the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization

$600 million streetcar plan offered for Austin
From statesman.com, July 25, 2008...
Central Austin should have a 15.3-mile streetcar system, consultants hired by the Austin City Council told members Thursday, a slight refinement of a proposal that the ROMA Design Group unveiled in April.
The proposal, similar in many respects to downtown rail plans that have been circulating for about three years, remains well short of a finished product. And the proposal lacks what is perhaps the most critical information: how the city or Capital Metro, or some entity to be named later, would pay for it.

Streetcar proposal outlined to City Council
From Austin Business Journal, July 25, 2008...
Consultants with ROMA Design Group outlined details of a $600 million streetcar proposal for Central Austin to the Austin City Council on July 24.
The proposed system is similar to a concept ROMA outlined in April, except that proposal recommended light rail as opposed to streetcars. The city and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization have been talking about a downtown circulator system since 2007.
