I think you’re mixing up a few different items. The streetcar is, indeed, a disaster. I think that is largely because they built it essentially as an amusement park ride for the weekends rather than a serious commute option. A subway that had the ability to actually move people across town (like the planned 16 mile loop) would have been great. The subway suffered not so much from local incompetence as inflation. The Brent-Spence bridge does need repair but that’s not a city issue. It’s a mix of state and federal. It doesn’t help that Ohio thinks that Kentucky should pay for it and vice versa.
