Legal challenges over LCC gondola could be combined into one mega-lawsuit

SALT LAKE CITY — A series of legal challenges against a proposed gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon could be combined into a mega-lawsuit.

"Here the lawsuits present a clear common question—whether UDOT and related authorities acted in a manner that was arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law when they issued the and approved the Project without complying fully with NEPA," Megan Houdeshel, an attorney representing Salt Lake City and Sandy City, wrote in the filing.

"Additionally, consolidation is unlikely to lead to any adverse result, as the Lawsuits are in their earliest stages and no delay or other prejudice would result from consolidation. For these reasons, consolidation would be in the interest of fairness and judicial economy and should be granted," Houdeshel wrote.

The gondola option remains unfunded by the Utah State Legislature. Instead, UDOT has said it will pursue other options first including public transit improvements and toll roads in the canyon.
