Is There A Chance The Track Could Bend?

Yesterday NYC mayoral GOP longshot and billionaire grocer John Catsimatidis announced his plan to build a monorail alongside the Long Island Expressway.

“Not subway, ABOVE-way,” he said, dismissing the possibility of expanding the existing underground rail system as a pipe dream. He expressed a wish to see “monorails going down the middle of the streets," in keeping with his role as the fearless ideas man in the field. Former Bronx borough president Adolfo Carrion, the independent candidate seated to his right, expressed support for alternatives to growing the subway system, though he did not explicitly get on the monorail bandwagon.

Catsimatidis has built monorails for Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map.
