- LA Aerial Rapid Transit (LA ART) has proposed the Community Access Program. The program is intended to encourage local residents and businesses to use the system when there are no events at the stadium by having individual Metro fare or Metro system access passes at no extra cost. The project is expected to be up and running by 2028. See a previous Weekly Roundup here. SCJ Alliance is part of this project.
- Porirua will be home New Zealand’s fifth gondola. The gondola is planned as part of the Porirua Adventure Park project. The proposed system will have 26 cabins ferrying people along the 290-meter journey over Te Rāhui o Rangituhi to a restaurant. The project still needs $16 million to fully finance the $32 million project that will create 200 jobs and pump $40 million into the local economy in the first five years.
- The Laval surface tram projects recalls the abandoned elevated tramway. The City of Laval, Canada’s long-term plan includes a surface tramway along Saint-Martin Blvd, but there are little details about the surface tramway. In 2011, a former mayor studied an elevated tramway. Unfortunately the project was abandoned when Place Bell was built and the Société de transport de Laval revised its plans.
- The Emirates Cable Car saw its busiest day in over three years and might be correlated with a TikTok video with over 1.4 million views. There was a 170% increase in ridership from one week to the other.
- Sea to Sky Gondola has reopened to the public after 10 months. New security measures have been taken and cabins will be removed off the haul rope every night.
