Urban Lakefront Cable Cars

The 'Chicago Skyline' Cable Car System Would Enhance Tourism

Put forth as a way to help invigorate the Chicago tourism industry, the 'Chicago Skyline' cable car system would see a series of cable cars introduced onto the lakefront of the city. Designed by the same company responsible for the London Eye, Marks Barfield Architects, the 'Chicago Skyline' would help enhance the experience for residents and tourists of the city.

The custom 'Chicago Skyline' cable car system would be designed to carry passengers along the edge of the lakefront and provide a truly exceptional experience. Picturesque views of the lake and city could be admired from the gondolas and operate in the evening hours to help offer the best view and experience possible.

Although the vision of the 'Chicago Skyline' is not yet approved for implementation, it would likely help to draw many more tourists to the American metropolis.
