1. Although an overcrossing of the railroad tracks to connect Yosemite Drive with Curtis Avenue is on the current Trails Master Plan and Bicycle Master Plan, staff has removed it from the newly released Draft Bicycle Master Plan. Go here for the plan: http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/_pdfs/plan_plan_bikeway_update.pdf

Although estimates for a standard steel-and-concrete overcrossing of the tracks range up to $5 million, other technologies can "ferry" people and their stuff for $1M to $3M. Go here for details: http://www.electric-bikes.com/prt/ferry.html

The Yosemite/Curtis crossing of the railroad tracks should be included in the Bicycle Master Plan. When evaluating technology choices for the railroad overcrossing, Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) options should be considered along with standard steel-and-concrete POC technology on an equal footing. The City should immediately pursue PRT technology for the overcrossing in order to gain the potential benefits of installing the first PRT system in the USA (publicity, subsidies, expansion opportunities, tourism, and synergy with the Great Mall).
