flag L.A. Metro approved a key environmental report for a $500 million zero-emission gondola linking Union Station to Dodger Stadium, advancing its path to approval despite criticism over funding and impact.

flag L.A. Metro is set to recertify a court-ordered supplemental environmental impact report for the proposed $500 million gondola project linking Union Station to Dodger Stadium, a key step toward securing state and federal approvals. flag The 437-page report, approved 4-1 by Metro’s Executive Management Committee, addresses environmental concerns and enables the project to move forward despite opposition. flag Led by nonprofit Zero Emissions Transit, the gondola would span 1.2 miles, operate with zero emissions, and provide a direct transit link to Dodger Stadium. flag Critics argue it serves private interests, lacks public funding guarantees, and may not reduce traffic or emissions, citing a UCLA study. flag Supporters highlight job creation, environmental benefits, and improved transit access. flag Public comment will be limited to 30 seconds per speaker due to high expected turnout.
