Transit system link to Disneyland Monorail

Planning of two major Anaheim-based transportation projects, including a regional hub for trains and a fixed-guideway system that would connect it to the Resort District, moves ahead this week as the public gets its first chance to officially submit questions and concerns.

Among the questions being considered: What should connect the transportation hub to the Disneyland area â€“ guided buses or a monorail? The scoping meetings are planned for Wednesday and Thursday.

The project would connect passengers coming in to ARTIC with homes and businesses in the growing Platinum Triangle and on to Disneyland Resort and surrounding attractions. The roughly 3.5-mile loop would run on or near Katella Avenue (several route options are on the table).

A range of transportation options also are being considered, including whether to increase existing bus service or build a dedicated route for cars to run on rail or tracks. Those options include light-rail buses that would run under a guidewire, automated people-mover cars or a monorail similar to the one at Disneyland.

The process also will look at simply increasing existing bus service along the route, but "we think that would cause significant traffic problems in the area, so some elevated system is most likely," said Natalie Meeks, Anaheim's Public Works director. "That's why we need public comment, to know if there are any issues, they need to be studied."

Hm, interesting. I think Walt would be proud that the city is considering the monorail or the WEDway Peoplemover for public transportation. Even though it is fifty years later than he planned.

Something Disneyland desperately needs and so does the rest of America!

Walt would be very upset not seeing his visions unbecoming realities!
