Queenstown NZ embarking on a couple of transit cable cars: https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/queenstown/world-class-suppliers-picked-queenstown-cable-car


Also the Paris cable car is very successful so far:

• The brand new urban gondola in Paris is already carrying 12,500 riders per day, 14 percent more than forecast, and a second line is under consideration.

All you guys must have a lot of time on your hands to argue over a project that is dead in the water. Chill out

So on that train of thought, I wonder what could be done to improve the design of the Edmontonian tower to take advantage of future development in that general area of the downtown?

Paris just opened its first Cable Car transit line (C1) https://www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/en/le-reseau/services-de-mobilite/telepherique-cable-c1

Also I have a swiss friend, they had a ski lift in the middle of town that was used to get to the town on the other side of the mountain.

Using this technology as public transport isnt new, Disney copied it from the swiss some 70 years ago.

I think Prairie Sky was a great idea and would be an awesome way to connect whyte and Jasper Ave.

With the city collecting applications for Rossdale power plant, could we see a renewed proposal for this?

I believe Ian is/was a stake holder..

If they’re simply looking for “good ideas”, it would be interesting to know whether the city will also look at the innumerable proposals they’ve received - both solicited and unsolicited - over the last two decades in addition to the gondola…

I think you need to submit to be considered, but I think you already knew the answer to your own question.

I think it would be a good idea to submit the old Gondola proposal to the new council. I think they would be more open to pursuing it this time around.

I posted a month or so ago when the city first opened up the power plant for public uses a news article about the Prairie sky owners still being open to it, so im sure its on their minds.

Found it ^^

Prairie Sky still hopeful for gondola as city seeks Rossdale plant redevelopment ideas

As the City of Edmonton looks for ideas to redevelop the Rossdale Power Plant, one company is hoping their once council-halted plan for a gondola will be revived.

I wonder if this project would kill a future line on the HLB using streetcar ROW as it duplicates the alignment. That would be the only thing stopping me from supporting this…

I did… It’s just that after a while it’s like the boy who cried wolf. They already have a shelf full of good ideas and those who provided them aren’t going to keep providing them over and over.

Not sure what to say Cantor. It seems this is the game that requires to be played.
