According to the environmental study, maximum capacity on the gondola system would be 5,000 passengers per hour, with an estimated end-to-end trip of seven minutes. Admission to the system is intended to be free with a ticket to a Dodger game, and rides would otherwise be set at the same price as a Metro fare. — Urbanize Los Angeles
The 1.2-mile-long system will be supported by three 195-foot towers and include stops at the stadium, Chinatown, and its origin point in Union Station. The three proposed stations will vary between 74 and 98 feet in height and between 174 and 200 feet in length. Johnson Fain is reportedly one of the local companies that will be affected by the demolition project required to enable the system’s junction structure at 1201 N. Broadway. Construction is expected to begin as soon as 2024, with a 2026 debut likely to coincide with that year's opening day.
Many residents are still active in their vocal opposition to the $125 million project. The full Environmental Impact Report can be accessed here.

In which the proponents of this scheme will spend $125M to improve pedestrian access to Dodger Stadium from downtown before installing a sidewalk at the downtown entrance...
yeah, but it’s fun to ride in those things.
