The Salt Lake Tribune’s Robert Gehrke argues more practical options — including tolling, trailhead fees, parking reservations and a closer look at Little Cottonwood Canyon’s carrying capacity — should be given a true chance before a gondola is built in the canyon.
“Instead of laying that foundation for this work, we bought into an all-or-nothing choice between wider roads with buses or a gondola — both massive, incredibly expensive and ecologically irreparable solutions. And the gondola won out.”
