GONDOLA ALTERNATIVE A (FROM LCC PARK-AND-RIDE)

ALTERNATIVE

• Not scalable - complete infrastructure requiredat start

Scalability

• System would not operate during avalanche mitigation

• Snow sheds improve gondola and roadway safety and reliability

• Gondola alignment separate from roadway increases roadway safety

Safety

• No change to pedestrian/cyclist facilities

Supports Active Transportation

• Not impacted by slide offs/crashes

• Gondola could operate while debris is removed from roadway

• Not impacted by snowfall

Travel Reliability

1,050people per hour
