Mag-lev cars for WeHo?
08/08/2012
By WeHo News staff, West Hollywood, California

How would you like to scoot across West Hollywood in under two minutes in an enclosed mag-lev car, bypassing traffic congestion while utilizing the greenest transportation tech available?

That was the question posed when Nick Garzilli, Sustainable Transportation Executive for Evacuated Tube Transportation Technologies (ET3) and JPods presented the West Hollywood City Council Monday with an out of this world, futuristic transportation plan that would act as a pilot project demonstrating his company’s product.

He claims that the ET3 system “is faster than jets, yet can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kilowatt hour than electric cars or trains at 1/10th the cost.”

Mr. Garzilli, a West Hollywood resident, said that “ET3's vision is to put car sized capsules accelerated by electric power coast on maglev in an automated tube network without air friction that would zip people across the country in under 45 minutes.

He presented a plan to install the slower JPod Solar Powered Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) starter network in WeHo.

He told WeHo News, "I do think that WeHo would eventually have their own ET3 Portal, but ET3 is not very practical just to go a couple of miles. JPods would be terrific though!

“We want to build this… personal rapid transit j-pod with solar panels on top that go 30-40 miles per hour, as a starter project in the City of West Hollywood,” he said.

He encouraged the council to take his company’s plan under consideration, “If you want to be forward thinking, let’s begin right here,” he said.

“We want to build this with private funds; we want to share the revenues with the rights of way holders…”

Adding that the system would open the door to stopping the subsidizing of inefficient modes of transportation, “we could do it all on a solar budget.”

He asked for a letter of interest to allow his firm to develop a plan for the city that would allow ET3 to “connect to the Red Line and, when the subway is eventually built down there on Wilshire… to that.”

He promised that, if the city were to provide permission and right of way, “we could build it fast and build it inside of a year.”

So what do you think, WeHo?

Forward into the future with a pilot mag-lev or sit still with present day traffic?
