Also a mini-light rail or small people-mover transporter may help with ADA access to the various parts of the linear community and during harsh weather conditions. For better earthquake resistance, maybe the support towers could be encased in concrete. Also some additional structures could be added in the north/south direction at intervals which would act as struts to stabilize the tall and narrow structure. Maybe add anchors on piers to the north and south with cables similar to the cables that stabilize a radio tower.
