Dave Kaval lays out vision for gondolas to new A’s ballpark

OAKLAND — The shovel has yet to hit the ground at Howard Terminal, but the A’s are already planning innovative ways to get people to and from the proposed new stadium.

Before Saturday’s A’s FanFest got underway on the waterfront at Jack London Square, Team President Dave Kaval held a news conference to detail the plans for the gondola system he’d like to get built in the city.

A station would be built in downtown Oakland at tenth and Washington street in Oakland, a short walk from the 12th street BART station, and transport fans across the 880 for a three-minute ride to a station to be built just a three-minute walk from the new stadium.
