This concept takes my idea for an aerial gondola lift across the Ohio River at the Banks and expands it eastward, crossing the Ohio River five times, ascending and descending Mount Adams before ultimately terminating at the casino.  It seems audacious, but does not seem to be blocked by the terrain or bridge structures and does not intrude into the air space of many buildings.

The 4.2 mile ride would feature spectacular views of our cities from many different angles, and safe to say could not be duplicated by any other transit route, while connecting 4 development projects in our urban core where huge growth is expected within the decade.  

   

I can't imagine the permitting that would be necessary from the Army Corps of Engineers for this many crossings over the river. I'd love to see some of these come to fruition on a smaller scale, if anything to increase accessibility (i.e. Mt. Adams - Over-the-Rhine). Is the overlay on the former IRS facility an actual map for that project?

This article is about a proposed 8 mile long gondola system in Utah: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.deseret.com/platform/amp/utah/2021/1/17/22227607/salt-lake-ski-areas-gov-spencer-cox-gondola-wasatch-canyon-little-cottonwood-canyon-alta-snowbird

If you are already proposing 4.2 miles, why not go a little further and connect to the previously planned (in 2008) Devou Park/Mainstrasse aerial tram. 

 

I didn’t know about that Devou Park proposal, that’s neat. I was trying not to route my super gondola over existing buildings but perhaps it could travel over the one story buildings and parking lots of fast-food-ville to get to the station at Goebel Park. Who knows, perhaps the Banks to Devou Park (with stops at IRS site and Goebel/Mainstrasse) would be the portion that grabs peoples attention and ends up getting built. I will update the diagram 

Here are the updated diagrams
