One of the more, um, creative components of Clay Chastain’s light rail plan is the addition of aerial gondolas traversing Penn Valley Park, between Union Station and the Liberty Memorial.

We all know that climbing Union Hill from the Crossroads to Midtown is a pain, so gondolas would be a nice alternative. Portland has already has bikes on gondolas, for real.
