May 18, 2016: A Presentation on the proposed Baltimore Gondola by Trey Winstead and Nate Pretl
A luncheon presentation by Trey Winstead and Nate Pretl on the proposed Baltimore Gondola. Gondola systems such as the proposed Baltimore Gondola are being implemented with great success around the world to solve transportation challenges. The Baltimore Gondola is a six terminal aerial gondola system which will transport passengers from Camden Yards to Canton with stops in between. The route follows Conway, Fleet, and Boston streets and is elevated above roadway by a series of tower supports, designed to mimic sailboat masts. Cabins are always loading and unloading in each station with a headway of as little as ten (10) seconds. Travel time between Camden Yards and Canton will be 12-13 minutes.
