The proposal for a gondola has been controversial as many groups, community members, religious organizations and local government have been vocal surrounding the issue.
Those who oppose the plan say the gondola will be an intrusion in the area and overall believe the gondola will not be effective enough in reducing traffic. While some argue the gondola will be a quiet and safe alternative when compared to other ideas for alleviating traffic in the canyon.
In the works since 2018, the project is estimated to cost more than $550 million.
After the public comment period has concluded, UDOT will consider each of the comments before proceeding to the last phase in the process, which is the decision phase.
