That is an interesting idea. A gondola was considered for SFU in Burnaby because it is on top of a large hill.
This is a preliminary study (there's probably a newer TransLink study from 2012 somewhere):

I personally think LRT is pretty much a non-starter in Dartmouth. That end of town is very low density and decentralized, plus there's the issue of finding a bridge crossing. And they already have an (underused) ferry service.
The most feasible systems, I think, would either be something for the rail cut (if it ever becomes possible) or something along the lines of the Bombardier Flexity trains that would tie in with BRT for outlying areas.
