Developers of a proposed gondola from Union Station to Dodger Stadium have run into a legal and political backlash as they try to get their 1.2-mile aerial line over Chinatown completed before the 2028 Olympics.

' 'Los Angeles is, and should continue to be, a place of innovation and creativity — a region that addresses the most pressing issues of our time, like climate change and reducing fossil fuel emissions,' he said. The parks alliance contends Metro failed to fully consider how a gondola would spur development and how it would mar views at the Los Angeles State Historic Park where a 98-foot-high passenger station — about the height of a seven-story building — is proposed.
