I recently wrote an article for the Architectural League of New York‘s urbanism-themed website Urban Omnibus. The article, titled Off the Road and Into the Skies (click to read it), should provide you with a decent history of New York City’s Roosevelt Island Tram and some analysis of Santiago Calatrava’s botched cable transit proposal for New York’s Governors Island.

I’d just like to say that the people at Urban Omnibus, particularly Varick Shute, are wonderful to work with. They’re truly creative, passionate, open-minded and collaborative with a stylish and informative site. Please look them up.
