[edit] Transport

Another noteworthy feature of the plans is the inclusion of a monorail to link the area to Liverpool's existing city centre. Given that the original Liverpool Overhead Railway covered this area, the monorail could be seen as the rebirth of or successor to this late Victorian endeavour.

[edit] Viability

The developers have stated that the project may take 50 years before it is finished. The proposals however are presently at a very early stage of planning, with detailed studies of its commercial potential yet to be completed.^[3]
