From the Niagara Falls Review:
It’s never easy to give up on a dream, but the city has made the right decision in dropping the monorail idea for people mover system for the tourism sector in Niagara democracies. Falls.
A monorail is something that has been on the minds of city leaders for decades. In fact, a small section of monorail once occupied a short stretch of the escarpment in the Fallsview area near the Horseshoe Falls incline railway. It was to serve as a prototype, but it never captured the imagination of investors and he went the way of the dinosaur.
Although a monorail has been ruled out, there is still support (and $ 25 million in federal funding) for some type of people mover system.
I’m furious they are not going with a monorail because it’s the only viable option to get traffic off the street and to help protect the environment and air we breath in the tourist areas.
Putting more busses on the road will not help anything at all!
A subway or monorail are the only viable options and obviously a monorail is the cheaper of the two plus either option whether it’s underground or above ground becomes another year round “green” tourist attraction which is needed!
