Let’s take a quick look at some of the highlights from around the world of Urban Gondolas, Gondola Transit, and Cable Propelled Transit.
- In Winnipeg, Canada, the city is looking at several active transportation crossing ideas for the Red River. The options include several pedestrian and cycling bridges and a gondola system. The cable car idea was initially proposed as early as 2008.
- If you happen to be in the Calgary next week and want to learn more about urban gondolas, Steven Dale, in collaboration with Calgary’s Centre City, will be presenting a talk called, Urban Gondolas: Just one piece of the transportation pie is happening at Fort Calgary (750 9th Ave. SE) on Wednesday February 15th between noon and 1 p.m.
- Continuing the ongoing movement and discussion of Canadian gondolas, the Sea to Sky Gondola proposal in Squamish, Canada gets its first government approval as amendments were made to several key planning documents.
