The proposed gondola project connecting Union Station to Dodger Stadium has encountered a critical setback as a California appeals court rejected Metro's environmental impact report. Originally approved 15 months ago, the ruling mandates Metro to rescind both its certification of the report and the project's approval until a revised environmental review is conducted. With costs estimated between $385 million to $500 million for construction and annual operational expenses of $8 million to $10 million, the project is now stalled as it awaits compliance with state environmental regulations before moving forward.
The California Endowment and the Los Angeles Parks Alliance argued that Metro had not properly followed state environmental laws, leading to the project's eventual legal setbacks.
The gondola project, proposed by Frank McCourt, faced a significant hurdle as a state appeals court ruled the environmental impact report invalid, leading to project certification cancellation.
