A Miami-Dade Monorail? Next efforts on possible public / private partnerships for transportation

Could this familiar voice from the Disney Monorail system be coming soon to Miami-Dade County? All kidding aside, I am assuming that this will not be a 'Mickey mouse' operation.

See, Miami Herald, A Miami monorail? County seeks private transit projects during Metrorail stalemate, by DOUGLAS HANKS

There is a long way to go, but it may take creativity to move us forward.  As reported in the Miami Herald:

Facing a stalemate on the promise to expand Metrorail, Miami-Dade wants privatization proposals for any of the six transit corridors endorsed by the county's 2016 SMART Plan study.

Developers have until July 27 to respond to the "request for information," which mostly asks for feedback on how Miami-Dade could use a "public-private" model to expand transit along the six SMART corridors. Those are commuting routes seen as the busiest in Miami-Dade, and ones that would expand Metrorail and Metromover into new markets.

We will keep an eye on this latest effort.  Until then close your eyes and envision this coming to our next transit stop:

Stay tuned.
