LA City Council blocks $500M Dodger Stadium gondola, citing environmental and community concerns.

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously opposed the $500 million Dodger Stadium gondola project, calling it a private, limited-use attraction lacking public transit value. Council members cited concerns over noise, environmental impact, and inadequate mitigation, particularly affecting a disadvantaged community. The project, now led by Zero Emissions Transit, faces scrutiny after a court ordered a supplemental environmental review due to failed noise mitigation and consultation with the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The council’s resolution urges LA Metro to hold a 45-day public hearing and accept feedback on the draft report, with a decision on recertification expected soon.
