Video has info on how to take action.

To submit public feedback, residents open the virtual portal and select a panel that opens a separate tab on a phone or desktop computer. After navigating through a summary of gondola design proposals on that tab, residents can select what action they believe the state should take or write their own comment.

The deadline for residents to submit comments online or by mail is May 18, 2026.

Lincoln Heights resident and disability advocate Eric Adams told LA Public Press he’s tech savvy but that the website is confounding and “deceptively maze-like” for elders and people with disabilities.

“[Elders] don’t function well with cell phones and were baffled by [the website],” Adams said. “[The website] is almost impossible to read for people who use screen readers or other adaptive tech.”

Adams, who said he opposes the gondola, said it took him more than 15 minutes to figure out how to leave a comment and that the website seems “deliberately” designed to prevent people from sharing input.

Ling said the website has no option for people to ask questions or leave contact information with their comment, which she worries could allow for someone to “game the system” using artificial intelligence to flood the agency with comments in support of the gondola.

Drawing on four decades of data, USC Price’s Genevieve Giuliano presents a paradox for transportation in Los Angeles: entrenched built environment and travel patterns amid rapid technological change and mobility innovation.

In her talk, Professor Giuliano considers L.A.’s transit future. As Los Angeles navigates the "hallowed ground" of personal mobility and the evolving role of its historical centers, we face a critical crossroads. If downtowns are shifting from employment hubs to residential anchors, and face-to-face interaction remains the bedrock of the economy, what is the future for transit — radical experimentation or doubling down on high-capacity infrastructure?

To start off, when I clicked on this video, I legit thought the Onion re-released the "Obama Replaces Costly High-Speed Rail Plan With High-Speed Bus Plan" video from 15 years ago 😭.

But anyways, with LA having so many freeways, I'm surprised this hasn't been implemented yet. The video says its an initiative by CalTrans, which really surprised me. I honestly have no idea if CalTrans has what it takes to run transit and it being a BRT network over rail but I will take any improvements to transit in Los Angeles and connecting communities!

Any thoughts?

Interesting origin story!

https://clockshop.org/project/clockshops-kite-festival/

A few years ago, a developer proposed building a private gondola over LA State Historic Park — a ticketed ride, above free public land, in one of the most park-poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Longtime residents were furious.

Clockshop’s response was a kite festival.

Thousands of families came. Kids built kites. Artists performed. The sky above the park filled with color — and the message was impossible to miss: this is our sky. This is our park. It belongs to us.

The gondola proposal didn’t go away on its own. But a community made clear it wouldn’t go quietly either.

Spanning 12 miles from Los Feliz to South Los Angeles.

Metro expects the installation of dedicated lanes will increase bus ridership on Vermont to 66,000 daily passengers, more than 12,000 of whom would be new daily riders to Metro's system. Additionally, the project would cut bus travel times from 70 minutes to 53 minutes. Those high ridership numbers have prompted Metro to also explore the construction of a subway or light rail line on the corridor, which estimates indicate could carry as many as 144,000 daily passengers. However, funding for such an undertaking would not be available until 2067.
