Aerial Tram Proposed For Ocean City Boardwalk

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) -- Ocean City visitors could soon have another way to get around while taking in the sights.

A developer is proposing an aerial tram would glide 50 to 85 feet above the boardwalk from the inlet to 27th St., offering views of the ocean, beach and bay. The tram would run daily from April to October.

Skyline Ocean City is being proposed by Trey Winstead, who has also proposed a similar tram for Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The developer's proposal says financing is already in place and a presentation for city officials is expected in the next few weeks.
