One very huge expense and very careful part of planning the MAX tunnel under the West Hills had to do with emergency escape routes. What is the emergency access plan for the OHSU tram? The four+ hour evacuation of one passenger at a time witnessed at the recent Roosevelt Island Tram breakdown doesn't seem like a particularly well thought out escape system.
