[Mpls] Personal Rapid Transit

[Allen]

This is pure speculation on my part.  I figured the real problem with the
traffic lights on 55 is that they haven't dug up the streets to install
proper traffic sensing equipment so the signals can function according to
cars that are present.  They seem to be on timers at the moment which just
doesn't work for a route that busy with a pesky train thrown into the mix.

Please, all we need is another wacky idea to clog up traffic, and this will.
A model or pro-PRT video can show us anything. The best minds from the USDOT
can't fix the signals on Hiawatha, and we want to run little pods down
Hennepin so people don't sweat in their vest?
