COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah — Community members had mixed reactions over the decision by the Utah Department of Transportation to back the gondola plan up Little Cottonwood Canyon. While some agree that traffic is a problem, they don't believe building a gondola is the right move.
Cottonwood Heights resident Brian Schutz believes the cost of adding the gondola will be too high of a price for the nearby communities. "There was so much opposition to it, it almost looks like it was a predetermined decision to go ahead with the gondola from the start," said Cottonwood Heights resident Tim White."I'm not sure how there could have been a more negative public opinion toward it."
On the other end of the debate, executive director of Friends of Alta Kody Fox said he is glad UDOT has implemented some of the public's suggestions and wants to see more collaboration throughout the project.
