To the editor: As a Chinatown resident, I loved columnist Invoice Shaikin’s piece on the efforts to enhance entry to Dodger Stadium, particularly the half about volunteers taking it upon themselves to activate the bridge on Yale Road (“Dodger Stroll: An amazing metropolis wants a strolling path to blue heaven. Do it, Frank McCourt,” March 25). And who is aware of? If we had higher sidewalks, stairs and even escalators that made it an gratifying stroll, possibly there can be no want for a pricey gondola. However does anybody actually suppose Frank McCourt would construct pedestrian enhancements with out one thing in return?
Our communities mustn’t have to just accept an overpriced and ill-conceived gondola to ensure that Dodgers followers to have a secure approach to stroll to the stadium. If this had been actually about his popularity, McCourt would deal with making pedestrian enhancements and drop the gondola that might take away invaluable bushes, land and airspace from Los Angeles State Historic Park.
