Imagine the Coast Skyway Gondola “From the Coast, to CSM, to the Trains, to the Planes” with a $100k Feasibility Study

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

MAP. Gondolas may also be called aerial trams. See post history below.

City of San Mateo and City of Half Moon Bay would love to see the results of a $100k feasibility study.

Could Measure K fund the study as the gondola goes through three San Mateo County Supervisor Districts?

Is this a solution for equity transportation?

City Council Directs Staff to Explore Grant Possibilities to Help Fund a Feasibility Study for the Coast Skyway Aerial Gondola

VIDEO.  City Manager, Matthew Chidester, offers a way to fund the initial exploration of the aerial gondola by way of a grant. Council member, Debbie Ruddock, and retired staff from the California Coastal Conservancy (CCC), said that a big part of the CCC’s mission is not just access along the coast, but access TO the Coast. And their strategic plan, as part of Division 21’s enabling legislation, prioritizes innovative transportation to the Coast. Ruddock suggests that the goal of the grant would be to determine permitting “project killers” as a start to a larger feasibility study (see Tampa study below).
