My beef is with the media and how they reported this. BRAF is exploring a myriad of options mainly in the areas of high-speed rail, street car lines, bus lanes, etc. Davies says, yes...they've even explored gondolas...as one of the unique options that has been proposed.
They should explore widening Airline highway, provide alternative freight routes, and revitaling struggling parts of town.
It's like they are trying to do everything but the most obvious answer.

An aerial tram might actually work in the LSU area where the roads are jammed, commuter parking is pushed further out, and students have proven to use public transit. And there are a shitload of new apartments going up around campus.
Yeah, but how much skyline clutter/pollution does this cause? Would it feel like walking through a NeoTokyo?

Pretty sure this is linked to the Nicholson project. They'll have a rail system from L'Auberge to Downtown.
I've read about that. I was speaking more to the aerial tram being impractical for that sort of service.

In all seriousness, the only way you create really innovative solutions to problems is by generating solutions that no one thinks about. People automatically look at this idea and say it's stupid. But the solutions that you think make "common sense" just recycle the same methods over and over and nothing innovative really happens.
What's truly innovative is "uncommon" sense. Ideas that are really out there, that don't currently exist in the realm of what you think of immediately. These ideas are FAR more valuable than the same ol' shite.
I'm not saying gondolas are the answer. I'm saying IDEAS seemingly as crazy as gondolas are the answer.
What the gondola people need to do... is show numbers. Numbers make every wild-arse idea real.

I thought this was going to be something like an article from The Onion or something.

I'm just saying don't kill a dumb idea before it's mathematically shown to be dumb. We shouldn't be in the business of killing ideas on the drawing board. We kill them in the math model phase, instead.
A Loop is a great idea. I love that idea. I want a Loop. But it lacks the political and budgetary support to work. We've been pushing this idea for years now. So what are we going to do? Keep pushing it as the only idea we can come up with?
Stop clinging to ideas that are familiar to you. Go after shite that's new.

I think everyone agrees that there is no single solution to the traffic problems. Thinking outside the box is fine as long as there is action taken once the decision has been made

Advocate article is all about gondolas as if that's the only solution to the problem.
Exactly right. The Advocate has been lacking recently in quality reporting. Someone there is really pushing the clickbait bullshite.

Lol at all the idiots in this thread. Like BRAF is actually drawing up gondola plans to run all across Baton Rouge. He was merely showing that they are open to anything to solve the traffic problems.

Maybe they just like exploring creative new ideas and can do so without actually having to advocate they be built.

urban gondolas.
What could possibly go wrong?

Urban Gondolas are all the rage in Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook!

That's exactly what I was saying.

I swear when I read the title I was thinking the gondolas in Venice. I had a vision of some Italian dude singing songs as I get downtown via Wards Creek.
Come to think of it, this makes better sense than the aerial ones.

Would the gondolas be air conditioned? Not riding in those from June-September if not.
