Tensions Mount Over Proposed Scenic Utah Gondola
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The Salt Lake Tribune recently reported on statements from Utah Mayor's against the plan for a Gondola in Little Cottonwood canyon that would Service Alta and Snow Bird. According to Tribune writer George Pyle:
Alta Mayor Roger Bourke, Sandy Mayor Monica Zoltanski and Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson (Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall sent her public utilities director) are together on this idea: The proposed gondola to bring people from the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon to the ski resorts of Snowbird and Alta is a very bad idea.
It’s not just that the plan put forward recently by the Utah Department of Transportation would be darned expensive — a $550 million price tag that must be assumed to be a low estimate — it’s that it would do more harm than good.
