From about 1990 to about 2003, there have been 165+ fatalities/deaths in the U.S. from at-grade LR. They range from people racing the trains, blind people...
Building LR or MR across the bridge is rather touchy I suppose. However, I would imagine monorail can tolerate the bridge's motion tolerance better because...

I'm not sure if many of you know about YouTube online, but I've found a good handfull of videos on monorails there. Some are footage out of the MR trains to...
Thanks, Darren! For those who've been missing our Seattle Center Monorail, I've had a link to a YouTube.com video up on the FoM website for a couple of months...

I'm interested in what Mayor Greg Nickels' thoughts were while riding the monorail and being one of the first riders following resumed service. I got mixed...
It's good to see it running at least on again/off again. The only thing worse than Nickels being there which is bad, the hypocrite... would have been for him...
What property tax? I'm aware of the proposed property tax for these various street improvements the City Council just approved. ... [Non-text portions of this...

I think I'm gonna start a committee to tear down the Space Needle and replace it with a big box skyscraper like you have downtown. That old 60's thing just...
I don't get it. As a matter of principle and philosophy, this makes about as little sense as Peter Sherwin casting his lot with the lesser-Seattle, NIMBY ...
I think it's good that Peter is talking up streetcar. The company running the current monorail needs some heat under the butt. This parade of breakdowns is...
Come to think of it. Every newpaper piece on the breakdowns has ended with a statement that it is a tourist attraction... And so it will be unless and untill...
1. Mr. Sherwin still has my respect. During the past couple of monorail votes, opponents of the monorail tried to make the case that light rail was a better...
FWIW, my reaction to the 2 recent incidents has been. 1. The alongside train-to-train evacuation method works very well and is the way to go. Beats hearding...
Kim, I hate to say this, but Peter's may be right to do this. The monorail hasn't been right for a long time. Moreover, how much would it cost to replace the...
What the monorail -- or any other 40 year transit system that carried over 2M passengers along this alignment -- is investment. Take those 2M out of the...
Or. Maybe. Peter heard what I said about how until we double local transit - no matter how - nothing will get better. And he knows that if they extend the...
Hey, I think I'll back an underwater tunnel that will force Seattle to run out of any money to solve any other transportation problems for more than 30 years. ...
At first I thought Peter was a sole monorail supporter, but I guess he is just a transit advocate. But why a streetcar line---and in place of the SCM?! I...

I had assumed that the press would lose interest in this forum following the election defeat of the monorail last fall. I haven't seen Rick Anderson of the...
Reading this reminded me, wasn't there an almost definite effort to demolish it (I think by the City?/politicians?) back in the 70's? I think this was about...
