  • Renderings of the proposed gondola from Union Station to Dodger Stadium have been released. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Los Angeles Aerial Rapid Transit (LA ART) are working together on the proposed gondola that will be able to transport 5,500 people per hour per direction with a total travel time of about 7 minutes. LA ART is expecting the environmental review and approvals to be completed by 2022, allowing construction to begin as early as 2025 and be operational for the 2028 Summer Olympics. SCJ Alliance is part of this project.
  • Route 1 for the Burnaby Mountain Gondola in Canada appears to be the preferred alignment option. Simon Fraser Student Society published a report that stated 84% of Simon Fraser University (SFU) students preferred Route 1. Route 1 is a 2.7 km alignment with a direct connection from Production Way to the SFU campus. TransLink will be submitting their final report with the official route option to the Burnaby Council and the Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation later this year.
