If not for the municipal clusterfuck that apparently happened before I moved here, a futuristic monorail system would have opened last week, with two stops a stone’s throw from my apartment — thus making my neighborhood (which already includes the Space Needle and EMP) look even more like the town the Jetsons built. Eliza Truitt has some really great photos she took of the locations where monorail stops would have been.
I wasn’t here through the debate around it, but it strikes me as really sad this project never happened. Would have been sooo cool. We are set to get light rail in 2008, though, so that will be nice. Sadly, it won’t come too close to my apartment — although I can always take the existing 1962 World’s Fair monorail over to Westlake, which will be a light rail station.
