I don't know what's being planned, but the monorail is in the way, so the government bought out the company that owns it and will pull it down.

I really don't care, because I've always thought it was an eyesore - I hate the way it runs along the facades of some beautiful old buildings. We don't have much of a heritage here, but I think we should preserve what we do have.
