Proposed Gondola Could Connect Downtown Traverse City to Old Mission Peninsula

• A new proposal would install a scenic gondola running from downtown Traverse City across West Grand Traverse Bay to Old Mission Peninsula

• Plans include stops near several wineries, plus a mid-bay “sunset viewing station” for riders

• Officials say the goal is to reduce summer traffic while creating a unique tourism experience — with rides taking just under 8 minutes
