Welcome
In 2002, Miami-Dade County voters, by a 2-to-1 margin, funded the People’s Transportation Plan by approving a sales tax increase (6.5 percent to 7 percent) solely dedicated to transportation. Part of that plan included a mass transit "BayLink" between Miami and Miami Beach. In the beginning consulting engineers were recommending light rail. Led by Miami Beach mayor David Dermer, the city later rejects the will of the people fearing that construction will be disruptive and that the proposed solution will contribute to the problem. They force another election in 2006 onto the citizens of Miami Beach regarding BayLink. The citizens overwhelmingly vote to bring it on no matter what it looks like. As of this posting, because of the city's stonewalling, BayLink has been put on hold and other projects pushed forward. Currently, Miami Beach is only considering a compromised solution: light rail trolley cars. This site hopes to convince them and others to consider a monorail. We believe it is the quickest, most cost effective, and less disruptive solution.

I really love the idea. That causeway is the absolute worst, and the monorail price with Small Starts/New Starts can cover 50-65% of the cost. But when you showed the accidents with METRORAIL, that is stupid CAR DRIVER error, also what are you go to do to prevent a another Disney World accident, Positive Train Control (PTC) would be the solution, but about 70-170 million dollars more depending on manufacturer. Also what about a bunch of drunk people walking on to the station, then falling on to the beamway/guideway. Then you have just stupid/suicidal people walking on the beamway/guideway. Also lightning strikes has happened 3 times at WDW. Overall great idea hope you take my concerns into consideration.

I really hope our commissioners and elected officals take a look at your plan. I have no idea if it will work in any aspect, but you seem to know what you are talking about. Let's get this sent to all the reps by TWITTER , FB, email as well as our local TV stations so that they can follow up and get the public behind it if it is found feasable .
Thank you for providing ideas that would benefit our community. As you know it is greatly needed.
