Title: Phase II Skyway Vehicle!
Post by: Ocklawaha on December 02, 2007, 09:15:52 PM
I couldn't resist this. I have been burning the midnight oil with monorail sites to see if I can come up with something to save the Skyway. I kept thinking of the mayors statement that we didn't build it for the Superbowl because people might ride it and overload it... Duh...

Then I found this little jewel, we could expand vehicle capacity by going with this new Skyway train.

Ock, at least now the Skyway could be sold as a kids' amusement ride.  If it was used for the kiddies' birthday parties, it would likely carry more passengers than presently.  ;D

Gentlemen.............I concur! This system would be very easy to expand but don't forget, we would have to do a analysis and a study before moving forward and wasting money again!

Tim/tufsu .......I am not against taxes when they are used prudently! Government must control their spending plain and simple! I point out the "Deficit" and its only a matter of time before other countries will not buy our debt and what do we do then? All of government, no matter what level, suffers from the same affliction and we, the taxpaying public, allow it to continue! Gentlemen there has to be a limit to what we taxpayers will put up with! Don't forget the Whiskey Rebellion.............it could happen again!
