Anyone read about this new gimmick to raise money for Venice?
Rosendahl said he has instructed his staff to work with the Department of Recreation and Parks on the zip line proposal after it became clear that a United Kingdom company's plans for a giant Ferris wheel on Venice Beach needed more vetting.
A zip line would provide another additional element of fun and excitement, Rosendahl said, and could generate revenue this summer to help the city maintain restrooms and garbage cans on Venice Beach, which attracts roughly 16 million visitors a year.
Rosendahl said that he has asked Venice Neighborhood Council President Linda Lucks to put the zip line proposal on the board's May 15 meeting agenda to see how the community feels about it.
"It's two towers and wire across it and they say you fly like a bird," Rosendahl said. "It's a simple enough concept and easy enough to put on."

Saltwater has some good income-generating ideas.
Institute a comprehensive parking plan for Venice and the boardwalk. Permit parking for residents, charge guests. If there really are 16 million visitors per year, this should raise a lot of revenue. Right now, they are parking for free and clogging up our streets.

I agree, but if the price is right I think people would do it when visiting. I'm just not into having it as a permanent fixture – I like the 2 – 3 months they claimed they put their line up for. Also liked the discount for locals mid-week ;-p.

How about a free, one-way zip line that sends Rosendahl and his merry band of idiots and crusties over to Dockweiler Beach.

Nothing like cluttering up the beach, one of our free natural resources, with a zip line attached two clunky bases. And do you really think it will every come down if it makes money for the city?
