Now come on, OSHU needs to grow. Pill hill cannot hold any more growth. If OHSU is still going to provide the STATE with a world-renound public health facility, we need to keep in mind that the cost of the tram will work it's way back to us in the growth of OHSU.
If anyone who rides the 35 bus knows, the #8 to OHSU goes through every 5 minutes, not to mention the traffic jam every day at 5. These people need alternative ways to get to one of the largest employers in the state.
OHSU's contribution to the quality of life in Portland cannot be forgotten. What business would pick-up the % that OHSU has put in for a public transportation system???
Tram is great. I agree those who argue the cost are nit-picking and not seeing the benifit to the state and metro area.

90% will never use???
