Abstract
The politically charged Marquam Hill Tramway is designed to connect Portland's largest employer, the landlocked Oregon Health Sciences University, with 120 acres of underused, industrial land at the edge of the Willamette River. Logistical challenges associated with the alignment and the construction of the tram as it passes over a national historic district and fits into the existing footprints of existing structures are just part of the unique issues of this public transportation link project.
