WAIALUA, Hawaii (KHON) — A controversial proposal to build a gondola on Oʻahu's North Shore is officially off the table after Gov. Josh Green signed House Bill 1881 into law on Friday. The new law prohibits private passenger or cargo ropeways — including gondolas, cable cars, ski lifts and aerial tramways — from being built in Hawaiʻi. Government entities are exempt only if a project receives approval from the state Legislature.
