Canada's construction news
With the City of Toronto considering a study for a bridge link to the Toronto Islands the concept of a gondola has transfixed social media.
Ultimately a cable car system could be just the ticket to link the mainland with the islands with minimum cost. While gondolas are best known for pulling skiers and tourists up steep mountains, they’re also a prime form of transportation linking with other modes of public transit in many cities around the world including the Terminal Link at Pearson Airport which is in fact, a lower mounted cable car.

The mere mention of a fixed link has some Island residents angry, however, with many saying they like their isolation and tranquility.
