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 Avenue (“Dodger Walk: A great city needs a walking 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 pleasing stroll, perhaps there can be no want for a pricey gondola. However does anybody actually assume 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 option to stroll to the stadium. If this had been actually about his repute, McCourt would give attention to making pedestrian enhancements and drop the gondola that will take away worthwhile bushes, land and airspace from Los Angeles State Historic Park.
