I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I heard that when Walt Disney was building Disneyland, he offered to expand the monorail to major areas in and around L.A. But, the city planners at the time turned him down, because the freeeway system was the way of the future...lol
Well you're partly correct.
That offer was actually made to LA by ALEWEG, who developed both the Disneyland and the Seattle monorail systems.
Thanks for the clarifacation! It was probabley a great idea at the time, but these days the government would have to invoke iminment domain, and trample over private property rights to build it now, besides the fact were just plain broke. Another case of vision being trumped by political kick backs to the unions, who built are wonderful freeway system no doubt.
