Dear Editor,
Peter Calthorpe promoting PRT?… sad.
Video [from last night's SunCal presentation] here:
He’s full of crap.
ULTra has postponed its opening a year. It was supposed to open this year… I don’t think it will ever open. If it does, it will be a flop.
I saw a video of a California politician talking about using PRT to build “transit-less transit-oriented development”.
Looks like the same thing is going on in Alameda.
They get an area designated as a site for PRT and then they can add density to their beach front developments.
Since PRT is infeasible – the Fed won’t fund it, its a no-cost, win- win for developers and elected officials.
They can pretend to be “green”, make a lot of green and not have to build any transit…. clever!!!
Not the first time that a futuristic, gadget transpotation concept was proposed for Alameda… remember Cybertran?
What the video on the website… it’s hilarious.
