A Metchosin resident is proposing a unique way to alleviate commuter traffic in the Esquimalt and Colwood area, suggesting gondolas could hold the solution.
Geoff Pearce has been studying the traffic flow in the region for years, calling it hard to get around.
“Right now the roads (and) highways are all congested. There needs to be an alternative opportunity,” Pearce said.
His dream and vision would see a gondola soaring over the Esquimalt Harbour.
The commuter model has been used around the world in places like Portland and London.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins said she is open to the idea to help alleviate some of the traffic.
“We have 7,000 people who come to that base everyday and go home. Some of them live in Esquimalt, but many of them live in the West Shore because it’s currently the most affordable place to live,” Desjardins said. “They have to get here somehow.”
