We have to start using air space--i.e. aerial cable cars-- like many other U.S. Cities and countries are using. These don't compete with cars or buses or bikes.

They are cheaper to build than rail or overpasses.
They can be erected in 2years--after permitting.
They are modular and need not tie up traffic during construction.
They are expandable.

Once one is erected, everyone else around will copy. We are so provincial in our thinking.
