In the specific item (which was also republished in some local newspapers here) there was not much said about the infrastructural changes. In some earlier publications in Cornell newspapers it was mentioned that Podcars are going to run on elevated monorails. If that is the case, I can imagine this initiative meeting a lot of opposition in a place like Ithaca, which tends to be proud of its natural beauty. Could be great to have more details about how these Podcars are actually envisioned...
