It's an idea that's been floated for quite awhile now: a gondola service that would take passengers from the Expo and Millennium lines on the SkyTrain, up to Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain.

It would cost around $200 million to build.

Support for the project has been growing - and it has a new advocate today in the Burnaby Board of Trade.

Their CEO, Paul Holden, has written to Burnaby City Council, asking that the consultation between the city and Translink moves along to the next stage, so that the project can go forward.

Just before we came on air, Paul Holden joined me in studio to tell us why he supports the Burnaby Mountain gondola.
