Now that the Convocation Center is alive, It's time to mention the Horizonal Elevator again. Talk of no parking at YCC. I mentioned some time ago about this type of People Mover connecting the Downtown and YSU. There is plenty of parking. With such a system, park anywhere along the line and get to the YCC. It would work if there would be a game at the stadium. Park at YCC. The People Mover connects all the parking lots,resturants, activity areas, to make it easy to get to Youngstown events. Any thoughts?
I would like to see an enclosed elevated walkway connecting the two east end parking decks with the Convocation Center. Downtown Akron has elevated walkways connecting many of the downtown buildings.
When you say People Mover do you mean this; like a RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM?(http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/Stage2Documents/BRT_Mercer.jpg)
If So I do like the idea.
Or something like this?

From my 10 times staying in Downtown Buffalo for business they have a system like this in one road and all day long it goes from 1 end to the other end; it really doesn't bother traffic either...
This is be great to have; but where would you put it?
Let's not forget that those systems costs millions, and perhaps billions of dollars depending on how far they reach. Do you do stations or hop-on, hop-off? It is an interesting idea, but let's research the use of WRTA and its downtown trolley before we talk about a new tram.
