| On another note about the Maglev... I have seen this myself on my many biking rides along the Maglev line. There are about 100 yds/100 mtrs (think American football field) on either side of the Maglev track that are beautifully landscaped with a dedicated service road (which are fenced in to keep folks like me from riding on it). I have yet to see a house that was within this 100 yds/100 mtrs right of way zone. But... there are many, many, many homes, farms and one church that are just on the edge of the Maglev right of way zone. There is just no way to run the line into the city directly unless they could put it underground. I just don't think that the cost for doing so is possible. CJ |
