Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) is hoping to get the residents on board.<\/p>\n<p>The cable car would run parallel to the Bayonne Bridge. Photo: AdobeStock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"teaser text full\">\n<p>Residents of Staten Island have specifically been asked to back the project publicly, as the \u201cHudson Reporter\u201d writes. The petition is then intended for presentation to the candidates in the next mayoral election in New York City. As the initiator of the cable car project, SIEDC wants commitment from the politicians even before the elections, in the hope that they will subsequently support the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have too many cars and too few roads,\u201d SIEDC President Steve Grillo summarises. \u201cThat gives us two options: we can travel either above or below the road.\u201d SIEDC is therefore seeking construction of a four- kilometre cable car parallel to the Bayonne Bridge, which is intended to transport commuters over the Kill Van Kull waterway.<\/p>\n<p>The gondolas would run between Richmond Avenue and Forest Avenue on Staten Island as well as 8th Street Station on the Light Rail system in Bayonne. The integration of the stations on Staten Island has not yet been resolved; in Bayonne, passengers would be able to transfer directly to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are talking not about tourist use here but rather a true urban cable car,\u201d Grillo emphasises. Engineering and feasibility studies have already been completed and SIEDC is currently working on the funding for the cable car project. Internationally recognised planning and construction companies are helping here.<\/p>\n<p>Grillo compares the costs of the 2.5-mile cable car, which he estimates at 167 million US dollars, with the construction of one mile of underground railway, which would cost around 400 million US dollars. The journey by cable car would take around 13 minutes and a gondola would leave every twelve seconds.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 163 gondolas is planned, each of which would hold ten people; the transport capacity is 3,000 to 4,000 people per hour. The cable car is intended to run for 24 hours per day and Grillo expects 2,800 to 7,600 passengers per day.<\/p>\n<p>The ticket price would be between four and six dollars but is still open for discussion, as the cable car should be integrated into the fare association of NJ Transit, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority and ferry operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 gradient-container-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-3\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-3 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-4\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-196158040\"><div class=\"custom-si text-center\"><H4>History of an idea<\/H4><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>The idea of a cable car between Bayonne and Staten Island occurred to initiator Steve Grillo in 2015, during a TV report on urban cable cars in Colombia.
