📰 What Happened: Anaheim city officials are working with startup Swyft Cities on a proposal for a gondola network that would link Disneyland, Angel Stadium, the Honda Center, and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) via a 3.8-mile gondola route.
🔍 A Closer Look: The gondola would span Katella Ave., providing a 5-minute trip to Anaheim’s key attractions. It’s estimated to cost $125.7 million, with the city yet to find a funding source. The proposal, which would require cutting down hundreds of trees, has received mixed reactions.
🧠 Why It Matters: Anaheim’s gondola project is part of a broader trend of exploring alternative transit solutions for worsening city congestion. But it faces plenty of challenges, including securing funding and addressing environmental concerns.
