Seems like an interesting idea.

Using the art of the possible, how could municipal leaders and the province convince DND to allow a run across from one of the DND docks to Esquimalt Road or Maplebank Road? Then it would be a quick bus ride into downtown.
Or, could a Gondola run from the hill above Fort Rodd instead?

Would a gondola be a good option to run between downtown and the western communities?
Or for local transport in Oak Bay?

It would need to be high enough to allow the navy and cruise ships access to the jetties and the drydock.

I think the point can be made without derogatory language.

I just don't see how this would be any faster than the commute is now.
I mean, I've seen the gondolas in Venice and they move pretty darn slow!

Maybe they could use some leftover haul line to create the long-awaited zipline between Mt. Tolmie and Mt. Doug?
