EDITOR,
I am a 20-year resident of Whistler. I have been following the proposed development of the Sea to Sky Gondola and would like to offer the following thoughts:
The Sea to Sky Gondola represents an opportunity for all people (young, old, disabled) to access a part of B.C. that currently only a few people can enjoy. In the past few years since Whistler's Peak 2 Peak gondola has been operating, it is remarkable to see the amount of people who come specifically to experience the "ride." There is no question that the same will be true for the Sea to Sky Gondola.
The applicants have been extremely open in their efforts and worked through numerous levels of governmental agencies and departments. Public support for the gondola has been strong and clearly in this case the positives far outweigh the negatives.
I look forward to knowing that in the future as I grow older there will still be an opportunity to take my child and one day my grand child(ren) to look out over Howe Sound and know that my voice to support and encourage this development was heard.
