How much would it cost for riders to hitch a ride on the proposed Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola? The answer is more complicated than you may think. natecarlisle
ALTA, Utah — If Utah wants skier John Persons to ride a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon, it will have to be free.“We all try to ski every day,” said Carly Smith. “It would be hard to pay a lot of money.”
The goal of a gondola would be to reduce car traffic in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The current road up the canyon is mostly just two lanes that get covered by avalanches in the winter. New snow also brings skiers in cars who have been known to cause traffic backups for miles.“Our initial studies show that the toll is likely to be in that $25 to $30 range,” said Josh Van Jura, project manager for UDOT’s Little Cottonwood Canyon Environmental Impact Statement.
“So, to spend [$550 million] of taxpayer money to subsidize two businesses seems profoundly unfair to me,” Heimark said.Greg Macfarlane is a civil engineering assistant professor at Brigham Young University who has studied the costs and benefits of public transportation. He said in 2019, Utah Transit Authority, for example, recouped 16% of its costs from fares.
