This is why it makes sense to go from Westbrook to Foothills. There is a geographic constraint (the escarpment on the south bank of the bow) and the speed might actually be faster than going 29th/Memorial/Crowchild/Bow Trail, especially in traffic. The gondola would be 6 minutes from Westbrook to Foothills, while the drive would be have to be an average of about 50km/hour to accomplish that, which, depending on traffic, could be hard.
