Metro doesn't recommend further study of any aerial alternatives in this corridor, either HRT, LRT, or monorail. (click images to enlarge)
Stations are large, especially with pedestrian bridges for access. Straddle bents (the beams spanning the street) are used when there's not space for columns.
See my previous 6/23/07 post Wilshire Monorail? on this subject, also Flood channel monorails?

There are definitely some ugly monorail designs, but it doesn't have to be the case. You seem to be intent on showing monorails in the worst possible light by posting images like that. Do you balance the presentation by showing the ugly sides of other forms of transportation?
