    It's ridiculous how a few NIMBYs keep trying to stop public transit. Dodgers Stadium is located in a very challenging area. Traffic is horrific. The young woman who says they can increase the free shuttles from Union Station has obviously never been to a Dodgers game. That's a non workable solution. It would only add to the traffic because the buses use the same ROW as cars. A gondolas uses a completely different ROW.
    And since when is public transit a means to gentrification? The salon owner is correct and speaking from realworld experience, not theories.

      >when is public transit a means to gentrification
      Who said this is public transit? These are not NIMBYs...That lady is calling for more shuttle services, which would be WAY more efficient than the useless gondola. If you actually read the plans and did basic math, it's obvious that the gondola would not decrease traffic in any meaningful way.

      Gondola will increase flow into certain areas, therefore increasing the price of nearby real estate and pushing residents out. Do you know what gentirifaction means? This isn't any typical public transport either, its a tourist attraction.

      ​@mehg8407 You do realize buses use the same road as the cars up the huge hill to Dodger stadium. How is that more efficient? The ONLY way that would work is if they didn't allow cars at the stadium. You know that would be even less popular and more expensive because Taxpayers would foot the bill. Decades have passed and Dodgers Stadium has only gotten worse. The gondola would be a great solution. These systems are used all over the world to reach physically challenging locations. Go to Palm Springs and ride theirs.

      Chinatown is a dying neighborhood and everyone knows it. The fact there is no grocery store says a lot. Development is necessary to maintain an area. If not, it dies. The center of Chinese culture in LA long stop being Chinatown. It's now in the SGV.
      Do you think Asians committed gentrification when they started moving into to the SGV cities and setting up businesses? Or, was it progress? Based on your definition, mostly Chinese committed gentrification causing white flight and less Latinos in the SGV. Chinese are now dominent in the SGV. Gentrification or opportunity to progress? It's complicated. Not as simple as you think.
      BTW, public transit can be both a tourist attraction and​ a mode of transit. That's not a bad thing. In fact, Union Station itself is both a tourist attraction and a working Transit Center.

      Yeah, but if you increase the amount of shuttles...those cars would not be there! I mean...People really do lack critical thinking skills these days. It's so frustrating. The more people take more shuttles...less cars. Derp.

    I live nearby and work nearby, the bus does not work, the traffic is insane. I just want to get home as fast as possible after a day of work. We need that gondola to get rid of some traffic. Everytima I drive some at night there is always people crossing the street where they should not, these past two days I almost hit people crossing because is night, its dark and they wear nothing light reflecting or carry a flashlight to be seen. We need that gondola.

    The developer should pay to take a few bus loads of Chinatown residents to Palm Springs to ride the gondola system there and they can get information on issues like all the safety protocals. They can see how quiet they actually are, etc. As with the gondola in Palm Springs, it's used to travel to challenging locations.

    As always people who hear about a potential way to alleviate traffic start lashing out as it has been for decades. Adding a gondola is new but the pushback is just like all pushbacks of past projects to add ways to get from Point A to Point B causing existing traffic problems to worsen and then the same people will lash out city council for not doing enough to alleviate traffic. I am all for ways to get from Point A to Point B to alleviate traffic. The amount of people going to a baseball game warrants ways to get to the stadium. There have to be ways to alleviate traffic and everybody either must adapt or move to the suburbs or small cities.

    In spanish these are called telefericos and they are quite nice. My parents home state in Mexico has one in their capital city and it's a tourist attraction. You get to see the whole city and it gets you up to a hill above the city. These objections seem close minded because they complain about the traffic but don't want to see anything done to relief it. I think they are more worried about what might or might not happen to their home prices.
