Replying to Crystal is better
"An interesting thing happened over seven plus years of planning. The Tram Crystal was hoping to install crep up in cost, from $6 million to over $12 million. This project had been deferred until recently when we found a contractor who was able to get the project costs back down to the original price. This will be a two-year project starting the Spring of 2007. The plan is to install the jig-back 100 passenger tram, from the grocery store location to the top terminal of Rainier Express. It will have only two intermediate towers; one on Exterminator and the other near Iceberg Ridge. We are also looking into the possibility of designing and constructing a new summit restaurant at the same time. The grocery store will be temporarily relocated between the Chapel and the Rental Shop."
