gondola news
Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon (FoLCC) exists to oppose UDOT’s gondola plan and promote fiscally responsible, common-sense solutions to canyon congestion. As a single-issue advocacy group, we unapologetically vet and support candidates who share and demonstrate our commitment to accountability, transparency, and responsible use of public funds.
The proposed Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola has emerged as a key issue in Sandy’s 2025 mayoral race. Both candidates, incumbent Monica Zoltanski and challenger Cyndi Sharkey, were invited to share their positions through the Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon survey. Their responses reveal two very different approaches to how Sandy should engage on this billion-dollar infrastructure project.
As Cottonwood Heights approaches the November 4, 2025, election, we surveyed mayoral candidates Mike Weichers and Gay Lynn Bennion on critical topics: UDOT’s gondola proposal, Wasatch Boulevard’s future, and the city’s top challenges. Their responses show shared priorities with distinct approaches.
