Consider seriously and check the feasibility of the Great Green Pensile Boulevard over the railway tracks: cost comparison between the GGPB and diverting the tracks, time involved, profitable activities to be placed on the GGPB.
Also the idea of the Fly Wheel Storage needs a serious feasibility check.

The Great Pensile Boulevard (linear
park?) above the train tracks.
This could be a
great feature for the whole urban design of the New Midland!
Cost comparison between new track line
construction and displacement of the tracks and the cost of the
structural covering platform.
How and where to cross it? Underpasses?
Coaxial ramps?
