BRO viewers have talked about the idea of High Speed Transit between cities in the past, but not in recent months. A few days ago I received an email from Pamela Malanowski (Skytrain National Monorail System Initiative) who asked me if I would pitch the SKYTRAIN concept on BRO. “I have started an initiative for a monorail system to run down the center mediums of our Country’s divided highways,” said Pamela. “What would the people of Buffalo think of being linked to Cleveland via 90 or Pittsburgh via 90 to Erie Pa and 70?”
Pamela told me that she would be forwarding me additional information on the initiative, but in the meantime she included the following statement in a link that is basically a broad overview of the SKYTRAIN concept:
A Green Solution for American Progress and Jobs
We are working to establish America’s first Green Transportation Initiative-A National Monorail Train Service running down the center mediums of our divided highways. This is an Idea whose time has come. America is in need of positive focus and Jobs. We are hoping to enlist the help of Disney and Bombardier to make this a seamless, people and environment friendly project.
SKYTRAIN will unite our communities from coast to coast and create thousands of jobs in masonry, computers, the building industry, travel and hotel industries, electronics, manufacturing, and even the food industry. SKYTRAIN will relieve traffic congestion and reduce smog and will NOT take up green space.
SKYTRAIN views will be beautiful, the journey will be luxuriousm and our people will be dedicated to safety and service.
SKYTRAIN Safety, Service, Style
