Charlotte Light Rail Versus Monorail

Charlotte Light Rail Versus Monorail

A two-year traffic study, compiled by retired UNC Charlotte professor David Hartgen, finds traffic in Charlotte could be as congested as traffic in Los Angeles in 20 years. . I represent a company call www.CharlotteExpress.com (Unirail Transit System) and we offer the next step in Transportation. Think about the light rail project. It was estimated at $35 million a mile and it ended up costing the tax payers $65 million a mile. I will tell you why. Instead of using new technology they love to live in the past. They had the extra expense of building a bridge at every intersection. If you want to see a the future of Charlotte go to http://www.unirailtransitsystem.com/ or www.charlotteexpress.com (Click Here to View) and look at the Chicago rendition. Notice it spans whole intersection. (no bridges) The first month the light rail was finally completed, someone was killed on the tracks. You here this all the time. Our fore fathers made us a magic carpet made of steel (The Trains). What are we going to do for our generation. Our transportation is 20 years behind the times as well as our national grid system. Can you imagine seeing that rendition from Chicago on our website (Click Here to View) going up I-77 right to uptown Charlotte. Going right to the airport, running right inside building, the University area. Be able to span intersections and highways with little or no impact. We would be able to use right of ways all ready there. The city as well as Cornelius , Huntersville and Mooresville and Davidson have been meeting about the light rail coming north and one of the problems with the light rail, they will not be putting bridges up at all the intersections. Which means this system will prevent what is trying to succeed in . Traffic will have to sit and wait while the Light Rail goes by. More than likely it will be at the most busiest rush hour times. We estimate a firm commitment of $30 million a mile and also if Charlotte committed to at least 80 miles or more. We would set up a plant here in North Carolina tied into a steel mill which would bring many Jobs to our Charlotte area. Now isn’t that what this is all about. Here are a couple of side notes. We should be able to get to the beach in half the time and have a evacuation system to bring folks out of major storm area safely to our hotels and restaurants. (EES) Emergency Evacuation System with the maximum speeds of a hundred and eighty miles an hour to bring the people by the hundreds directly inland for safety. Now that’s a vision. Michael Saya
