STUDY SESSION
The City Council and the Planning Commission will receive a presentation on the concept
of locating a MAGLEV (magnetic levitation) station in the City. The MAGLEV
Deployment Program involves the use of electromagnetic energy to propel a train -like
vehicle along a monorail guideway at an estimated cruising speed of 200 miles per hour.
The MAGLEV train is able to achieve such high speed because of the frictionless,
contactless interaction of the vehicle with the guideway.
