You joke but would it be that crazy to have a Bus rapid transit route down Lincoln Way? Stop at west Ames Hy-Vee (or whatever), campustown, in front of Hilton for CyTown, and next to the new downtown Ames development on Lincoln Way?Now all we need is that monorail! Lol
You would just need to build some elevated stations and it'd feel big time.
First was Bridge, next is elevated BRT station, then finally.... a space elevator
