Fighting traffic to get to Dodger Stadium could become a thing of the past for L.A. residents and tourists alike thanks to the proposed gondola L.A. Aerial Rapid Transit is designing
Officials have announced they have settled on a route that would take the aerial tramway generally above Alameda Street through Chinatown and include a station at Los Angeles State Historic Park, per NBCLA. This preferred route, known as the Broadway Alignment, would take the gondola from Union Station to an intermediate “Chinatown/State Park Station,” then turn toward Dodger Stadium. The intermediate station would be close to the Metro Gold Line station in Chinatown.
Expected to transport 5,500 people per hour, the gondola could get fans from Downtown L.A. to Dodger stadium in seven minutes.
LA ART says the environmental review and approvals process could be completed by 2022, allowing construction to by 2025. The hope is to be operational before the 2028 Summer Olympics.
