No Gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) approved a three-phase plan in July of 2023 which includes a gondola for Little Cottonwood Canyon.

The project was recently estimated to cost taxpayers a minimum of $729 million, but will more likely be well over $1 billion, not including operation and maintenance costs.

The gondola is being pitched as a solution to traffic concerns up the canyon, but UPHE and many other groups and residents see it as a thinly veiled subsidy to the ski resorts up the canyon. 

THE GONDOLA IS NOT YET FUNDED BY THE LEGISLATURE. 

Please add your name to the growing public record urging the legislature not to fund the gondola and urging UDOT to explore better alternatives.
