Well, I  LIKE  the idea and the perfect place would be to run it from Uptown
to Downtown along Hennepin across the river to Main. Ideal for eliminating
some of the traffic on Henn., ideal for tourists, ideal for sight-seeing,
ideal for just moving people without traffic jams, pollution, road rage,
they
could use their cell phones in private!, could hold meetings in the sky,
have lunch in Uptown and be back Downtown without stress or a sweaty vest.
Conventioneers staying downtown could frequent the bars in Uptown and stay
off the road in between, courier service...it might even give new slant to
Michael's story of the Jag. I  see it brimed with all sorts of
possibilities...it could be so popular it might pay for itself. {Park Board
might want to get involved :+}!
