The route runs over existing roads, public green spaces and the North Saskatchewan River. \u201dThe cable car will be manufactured and maintained by Austrian manufacturer DOPPELMAYR, constructed by EllisDon, and operated by Prairie Sky Gondola.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it creates a tourist experience in the city centre and opens up access to Edmonton\u2018s river valley, Canada\u2019s largest urban park,\u201d Prairie Sky Gondola CEO Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson reports. The River Valley Alliance estimates that this park is visited by 10 million people per year.<\/p>\n<p>With the cable car, the people responsible hope that 500,000 fewer car journeys will be made and that a proposed additional road or railway bridge over the river will be abandoned. \u201dNot least, Prairie Sky Gondola should contribute to truth &amp; reconciliation with indigenous peoples, by providing them with direct jobs and making it possible to literally experience their history and culture.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 gradient-container-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-3\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-3 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-4\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 14\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>Starting point<\/h3>\n<p>The cable car idea emerged in 2018 in the course of the Edmonton project, an initiative of the local business community.

Their architectural character is exciting and dynamic, and it arouses the curiosity of passers-by.\u201d Each of the stations will be designed with a theme, reflecting either the intended use or the surroundings.

The industrial monument stands on a historic site, with cultural and archaeological significance that dates back 10,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>Tourists will be able to learn about the history of the indigenous peoples here, allowing members of the general public to interact and learn first hand from local indigenous people. \u201cWe want this station to become a hub for users and visitors to the River Valley,\u201d\u00a0Hansen-Carlson affirms.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, the next station, \u201cEnd of Steel Park\u201d,\u00a0will tell the story of the railway by integrating railway artifacts, wagons and tracks into the building. However, the majority of the railway station area will be used for commuting, parking cabins and maintenance areas.<\/p>\n<p>The cable car ends at Whyte Avenue, where pedestrians, cyclists and buses come together.

storytelling. The cable car conveys the culture and history of the indigenous peoples and, at the same time, creates an experience for locals and guests. Prairie Sky Gondola and its stations will also make a significant contribution to the city development of Edmonton and improve the lives of residents. In general, I believe that there is great potential for urban cable cars in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 0px;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-13 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

A transportation impact assessment and business review have already been conducted and confirmed that Prairie Sky Gondola is financially sound.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteer Group, a globally renowned consulting company, has checked and confirmed the projections for passenger numbers and the business case of Prairie Sky Gondola, and given assurance that the project is necessary and feasible,\u201d Hansen-Carlsen adds.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, once again, there is plenty on the agenda: the environmental impact assessment, re-zoning, support and station design, as well as a robust engagement of the general public and indigenous people. Prairie Sky Gondola will offer a unique and unparalleled experience when it floats through Edmonton in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-15 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";
