When was this monstrocity installed. I hope it is historic, because something like this is just deplorable. Kind of like putting that convention center on Hidden Peak, bu not quite as bad.

Update on tram

Hasn't voted

Just read in the Ogden Standard that a survey was done, asking Ogden residents how much they would contribute toward the tram. Results were a whopping $7.00 per resident! There are about 60,000 residents, and the tram cost was 20 million. Thats a little short! Ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Cool!
