Overview

• City spokesman Mike Lyster says the concept is preliminary and is being evaluated alongside driverless shuttles or trams, with outreach to Tesla, Waymo and Glydways.
• Swyft Cities’ estimate rose from about $35 million last year to $125.7 million in current materials, according to documents posted by the Anaheim Investigator.
• Anaheim previously paid $20,000 for an initial study, and a detailed analysis with preliminary engineering is priced at $350,000 to $500,000.
• Proposed routes would link the Platinum Triangle and the Resort District, with possible stops near Disneyland, the convention center, Angel Stadium, the Honda Center and ARTIC.
• The pitch envisions Big A–inspired tower designs and contemplates public‑private financing, with officials noting caution as other gondola proposals have seen steep cost increases.
