What must really hurt single-beam-fans is that part will be dismantled will the piers of part of it will host light rail.

Farewell monorail tram hi!
Sep. 1st, 2015 at 3:58 PM
Sometimes it is useful to study the site gos.zakupok. For example, yesterday there appeared a great contest with the strange name "Development of pre-solutions of Moscow Monorail". At first glance, it seems that we are in it will focus on the development of the Moscow monorail, but poring over the documentation, you understand that we are talking about a global work (spoiler in the title of the post suggests to us about it). But it's actually even better!
If someone does not know, the monorail was built by the previous mayor of Moscow from ENEA to m.Timiryazevskaya. Obviously, it was just Wishlist official for monorails operating experience of the world has shown that this type of transport works well in parks, airports, but terrible working in urban environments. In short, the monorail system can be described as "expensive, slow, a little." Construction and maintenance of the monorail - a very costly exercise. If my memory serves me, in Moscow a year subsidizing the monorail at 200 million rubles. It is stated that the Moscow monorail can reach speeds up to 60 km / h, but in reality faster 20 km / h, he did not go to (at least for me). Well, the most significant drawback - it is a small carrying capacity, did not attach to the monorail train more like a tram, and the cabin was originally designed for a small number of people. Therefore, as I said, this is pure toy, which has little relevance to modern urban transport. This, incidentally, recognized and officials. That is why when it only undertaken a construction offers the option of simply extend the tram from Ostankino, which would be much cheaper and more convenient for passengers. And now, finally, it is understood)
The contest is announced only on pre-decisions, but if you dig, adding all the pieces of the puzzle, it becomes clear that they want to do. Firstly, it is proposed to demolish part of overpasses:
Based on the mileage a bulldozer want to send a portion of the Ostankino to the depot.
Secondly, they want to alter the remaining structure:
And also to reconstruct the 3 monorail station:
And to build another railway viaduct across the way:
Plus the tram tracks:
Now the scheme of the existing monorail, plus a small outbuilding in the West:
And now all human language) The authorities want to demolish part of the overpasses, and the remaining to extend the tram tracks to the Timiryazev with dalneyschih connection with the line on Kostyakov. This means * drumroll * that finally got the tram system to connect both Moscow!
Thus, this project will save the city, because they do not have to keep a dead man; and residents of improving transport conditions for the trams will be able to quickly and comfortably carry people, plus for sure this will be followed by the expansion of the route network, so residents VDNH, Ostankino and Timiryazev can get comfort not only to the nearest metro station, but continue in Moscow.
Depot monorail, most likely, will go on sale:
It's certainly not palatable, but it's a small price for a big deal.
Although, frankly, I would have thought to put the monorail at ENEA - exactly where he coped with his task, and would serve as a such attraction.
What can I say, it will be interesting to watch over the implementation, I hope that nothing will prevent the project.
PS Moscow in this regard would not be the first - in Sydney in 2013, more closed monorail system.
