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?

Gondolas are low-capacity vehicles that quickly get cramped if turned into high capacity ones. They don’t work well for multiple stops. As a result, they are a point-to-point transportation method with low capacity. They are also expensive, especially relative to how many people they might serve, making them financially unattractive options for most applications. At their best, gondolas work when traversing difficult terrain with a consistent but low ridership
I wonder if it might work for the situation described for Utah? Rough terrain, no road to build and maintain, no worries about snow removal. That might offset the cost if they can make each gondola large enough.

UDOT will move forward with ‘phase one’ — and stresses the gondola is still years away
