The gondola’s price tag just went up again. Here’s why UDOT still says it is moving forward with the controversial plan.

“I’m fully confident that we have both a more complete and accurate final EIS and record of decision,” he said, “because of the fact that so many people took time out of their lives to review the materials and provide those comments.” He believes UDOT hasn’t looked comprehensively at the issue, saying the only way to solve the canyon’s transportation and congestion problems is by getting cars off the road.
