| | Media Advisory: Portland Aerial Tram Report |
 | | On January 3, 2006, the Portland Development Commission (PDC) contracted with Pinnell/Busch Inc., an engineering consulting firm, to prepare a report on the Portland Aerial Tram. |
 | | The consulting team was commissioned to establish the best estimate of the final construction cost of the tram, determine if there are ways to reduce construction costs, expedite the work, and manage risks that could cause the tram construction costs to increase. |
 | | On January 30, 2006, City of Portland Mayor Tom Potter released a memo to City Council outlining expectations for addressing tram funding issues. |
