Last week David and I finally rode the Aerial Tram, a sky pod traveling 3,300 linear feet between OHSU's main campus and their Center for Health and Healing (which happens to be LEED Platinum Certified). I love pretty much everything about this: that it feels straight out of The Jetsons, that it's part of Portland's public transit system, the views of Portland it provides. But mostly I love the thinking that goes into a project like this. I love that Portland is willing to think out of the box and come up with a solution that solves problems and serves communities, and does so in an environmentally-friendly way. This is what our country needs more of.
