What is the height of the aerial cables? What is the scope of the cable’s encroachment into public rights of way or private airspace?
The height range of aerial cables varies along the alignment depending on the height of stations, the junction, and towers. Cable heights at the towers are currently anticipated to be 175 feet above the ground at each of the Alameda Tower and Alpine Tower and 159 feet above the ground at the Stadium Tower, which could change as design progresses. LA ART will at all times maintain compliance with applicable regulations for aerial gondola safety, including clearance requirements.
The Project design locates the ropeway (and cabins) primarily above the publicly owned right-of-way and properties, together with locations where agreements are in place with property owners. The few locations where airspace rights above private property may be requested are being analyzed in connection with the preparation of the Draft EIR. The Project approvals will include right-of-way approvals.
