WASHINGTON — It sounds like a wild idea — a Gondola carrying area residents and tourists over the Potomac River from Rosslyn to Georgetown and back again — but it could soon become reality.

Today the project is one step closer to getting a feasibility study off the ground.
On Thursday, the Arlington County board unanimously voted to kick in $35,000 towards that study, The Washington Post reports. The idea of a gondola has been talked about for a least a year. In May, D.C. contributed $35,000 to the study, which is needed to see if a gondola would help relieve congestion on the Key Bridge in a cost-effective way.
This study is expected to cost $250,000 and once it gets underway, it could take about 10 months.
