LOS ANGELES — Backed by a company owned by former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, working in partnership with L.A. Metro, L.A. Aerial Rapid Transit is a proposed $125-million gondola that would fly fans from Union Station to Dodger Stadium in just seven minutes. Among the benefits touted on L.A. ART’s website are reduced traffic congestion, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and “panoramic views” of Los Angeles State Historic Park.
But down on the ground, advocates for the historic park are raising red flags.
