In an opinion piece by Mike Marker, President of Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon—which has tracked UDOT's Record of Decision costs and calculations for years—the Utah Department of Transportation’s proposed gondola for Little Cottonwood Canyon faces serious scrutiny over its financial viability.
Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon (FoLCC) exists to oppose UDOT’s gondola plan and promote fiscally responsible, common-sense solutions to canyon congestion.

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.
