A gondola slicing through Little Cottonwood Canyon would have horrible impacts on this treasured resource, says Ruben Navarrette.

He says it would make conditions in and adjacent to the Central Wasatch worse for anyone who is not sitting in a gondolator.

The gondolas would operate only in winter, reducing traffic by only 30% for part of the year, he says.

The character of the canyon would forever be compromised, while unacceptable road conditions continue.
