West Seattle SkyLink

03/16/2024

Duisburg (Germany) is envisioning connecting a new neighborhood via gondola (and bikes but not cars) to their regional rail line as it allows for easier integration into their dense industrial areas as well as green spaces. https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duisburg/duisburg-will-mit-der-seilbahn-auf-der-mipim-in-cannes-punkten_aid-108675875
It would be good for Seattle to consider the same.

Heute beginnt im französischen Cannes an der Côte d’Azur wieder die Gewerbeimmobilienmesse MIPIM: Wer dort auf dem internationalen Parkett auffallen will, muss sich schon etwas Besonderes einfallen lassen. Duisburg will mit der geplanten urbanen Seilbahn punkten.

India is evaluating over 300 locations to potentially build gondola lines. Some already received the green light while Seattle has been talking about it, but only Kirkland has done a formal feasibility study (and may proceed if they get funding).

West Seattle next?

Bring your bike or scooter along on a ride from West Seattle to downtown, much easier than on a bus or light rail.

Many have asked how SkyLink could connect with Link in S**O -
Switzerland has already fully integrated buses, rail, and gondolas in Fiesch.

wish we had SkyLink, we wouldn't have to worry about buses sliding off the road or having to run light rail through the night.

Due to the forecast of snow and ice, the Portland Aerial Tram will continue operations through the night to maintain access to OHSU and Marquam Hill residents.

SkyLink could connect the Junction with S**o and CID like the University of Haifa with the city.

Just like Haifa built a gondola to take commuters up Mount Carmel, SkyLink could take people up across the Duwamish, over Pigeon Point, and up to the Junction for sooner and with far less disruption and therefore reduced carbon footprint than building light rail guideways and stations.

A capacity of 8000 people per hour, high wind stability, few towers and small stations - perfect for West Seattle https://fb.watch/fpdM36HwtI/
