New monorail being developed in Seattle: http://www.monorails.org/
The new monorail being developed in Seattle is giving bike riders much consideration in their planning. SEATTLE � Bicycle riders would be able to carry their two-wheelers onto a future Seattle monorail under proposals of the City Council and the Seattle Monorail Project. A council committee yesterday passed a resolution, sponsored by Heidi Wills, supporting bicycle access aboard the trains and bicycle storage at stations. A recent monorail-agency survey of cyclists found that 90 percent would like to bring their bikes into the Green Line train cars. Bike access expands what one official called the "watershed" of the monorail line, so that more people can reach the stations even if they don't live within walking distance. Monorail leaders already have told construction teams to anticipate a bike-access requirement on the trains. The monorail would begin operations by late 2007, if it can overcome a severe shortfall in tax collections. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
