Dallas to seek 36 million for downtown monorail
Dallas City Council plans to ask the federal government for 36 million to build an elevated monorail in downtown Dallas. Traffic director Rod Kelly said the city would invest 9 million, expecting 7 700 daily riders to cover maintenance. Funding could come from bonds, private sector, or state transport funds with first phase opening by late 1979 if approved. Mayor Robert Folsom called it an exciting opportunity.
