美国迷尼苏达州反对高架桥电梯:美国迷尼苏达州圣保罗市为建设中央走廊轻轨系统,将拆迁市中心一座连接高架公路的主要通道。在换乘车站建设期间,中央走廊本打算建造一个临时高架桥连接高架公路,但临时高架桥是能维持多长时间是个问题。立法者建议安装电梯连接高架公路和下面的车站,遭到其他官员的反对。没有电梯,高架桥将无法与桥下的车站连接。
SKYWAY ELEVATOR FACES OPPOSITION: In St. Paul, Minnesota, a key link in the downtown skyway is scheduled for replacement this year to accommodate the Central Corridor light-rail project. Central Corridor officials have pledged to construct an interim skyway to link the system, while construction of the mass-transit station is underway. Because it's unclear how long the replacement skyway will stand, lawmakers have proposed requiring the Central Corridor to install an elevator connecting the skyway to the station, though project officials have opposed the requirement. Without an elevator, the temporary skyway would not have access to the station being constructed below.
