As presented, the funicular concept looks much more enticing and user-friendly than the series of elevators/tunnels/walkways proposed in the other concepts. I also like the option of the parallel staircase.
As for the potential loss of vegetation, IIRC that whole swath of forest is being choked out by invasive English Ivy, which is seemingly a larger threat to the health of that patch of land than clearing a single fairly narrow ROW. Wholescale removal of the ivy would hopefully more than offset any loss of trees and shrubs removed to make way for the people-mover.
