LA residents will get a chance to weigh in on the Dodger Stadium gondola proposal
Proposal would connect stadium to Union Station
Residents can voice their opinions at a public meeting on July 18
The Los Angeles City Council is considering a proposal to build a gondola system that would connect Dodger Stadium to Union Station. The proposed system would consist of two lines, one running from Dodger Stadium to the Chinatown Metro station and the other from Union Station to the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The gondola system is being proposed by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) and the Los Angeles Dodgers. LADOT says the system would improve transportation options for Dodger Stadium attendees and reduce traffic congestion in the area. The Dodgers say the system would make it easier for fans to get to and from games.
The proposal has drawn mixed reactions from the public. Some residents support the proposal, saying it would be a convenient and environmentally friendly way to get to Dodger Stadium. Others oppose the proposal, saying it would be too expensive and would not be used by enough people to justify the cost.
The Los Angeles City Council will hold a public meeting on July 18 to get feedback from residents on the proposal. The meeting will be held at the Chinatown Library from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Interested residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and voice their opinions.

Concerns about the proposed gondola system
