Porirua Adventure Park will be home to New Zealand’s fifth gondola. Seen here is the park’s grand opening event. The gondola system still needs to be financed.
  • Porirua will be home New Zealand’s fifth gondola. The gondola is planned as part of the Porirua Adventure Park project. The proposed system will have 26 cabins ferrying people along the 290-meter journey over Te Rāhui o Rangituhi to a restaurant. The project still needs $16 million to fully finance the $32 million project that will create 200 jobs and pump $40 million into the local economy in the first five years.
  • The Laval surface tram projects recalls the abandoned elevated tramway. The City of Laval, Canada’s long-term plan includes a surface tramway along Saint-Martin Blvd, but there are little details about the surface tramway. In 2011, a former mayor studied an elevated tramway. Unfortunately the project was abandoned when Place Bell was built and the Société de transport de Laval revised its plans.
