A few highlights from around the world of Urban Gondola Transit and Cable Propelled Transit:
- Simon Fraser University’s The Peak is reporting that Burnaby city council gives the go-ahead to the Burnaby Mountain gondola transit system in suburban Vancouver. Advocates are quick to point out that this does not ensure the construction of the system – that will be based upon a new financial feasibility report due soon.
- The Connaught Telegraph questions the need for a gondola connection to Ireland’s famed Croagh Patrick.
- An urban gondola proposal surfaces in Cincinnati, Ohio.
- Lastly. Just in case, for some reason you didn’t know already, the London Cable Car is being built.
Lastly lastly, in other transportation-related news, if you live in Canada/US and can access Comedy Network, here is a hilarious parody by Stephen Colbert on the dilemmas of Unicycling in New York.
