As long waits for buses continue, some skiers still skeptical of Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola plan
SANDY, Utah — Impacts of this week's winter storm were still seen Saturday at the bus stops in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Skiers and snowboarders eager to ski the fresh snow waited hours to get on delayed Utah Transit Authority shuttles. “I was waiting at Sandy Station at about 9:40 and a bus did not come by 11:20. We had not seen a single bus," said Gary Coursey,"That’s like missing three buses at that point.”Beck Burstedt had a similar experience, with several buses passing by her stop, making her try a different station.
“It was pretty full even from that one. Like, there was a huge line even in Sandy just to get on the bus too," she said.Utah's 2023-2050 Regional Transportation Plan outlines several ideas to help mitigate traffic congestion, including a Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola.The public comment period for the transportation plan ends Sunday.Coursey preferred the proposed concept of larger buses.
“The enhanced bus service seems like the best. It was the least expensive. Get up here faster than a gondola, and you can just get more people up faster," he said."It’s just there’s no good solution to it, and I’ll be honest about it," said Cook."You could try to build trains out here, you could try to build gondolas… is it gonna work?"
