The way that I read it was the gondola would be a collector/distributor for an LRT station along the NW line. Essentially, a local spur of the NWLRT using a different form of public transport. While a gondola would be an interesting choice, I'd be more comfortable with a tram line. When it comes to intra-neighbourhood transit, I believe trams have proven themselves as the rapid transit mode of choice; they excel at complementing inter-neighbourhood lines.
