I guess this fits in this thread!
Toronto Zoo might get s new Monorail
Project Documents:
Official Proposal - Magnovate
Zoo Staff Report on Proposal
The City and Zoo will review the proposal on Thursday and report back in the summer.
TL;DR: A consortium of system partners (Stantec, Lockheed Martin, PCL and Magna) have offered to build a demonstration maglev line on top of the existing Bendix-Dashveyor AGT ("monorail") guideway at the Zoo. They would pay for it entirely so the zoo gets a free train. Stantec has already been on site to evaluate the guideway and have said its in excellent condition.
To me, this is a no brainer, even though it doesn't entirely align with the zoo's current master plan, which is ramping down operations in the Canadian Domain section of the park.
