OGDEN — Instead of cutting a ribbon to celebrate the new naming of a trauma bay at McKay-Dee Hospital, Kayleen Paul cut a strip of surgical tape stretched across the doorway.

The retired director of critical care, emergency and trauma services whom the trauma bay is now named for used a pair of surgical scissors to complete the task. The space formerly referred to as trauma bay no. 1 is now the Kayleen Lund Paul Trauma Bay, thanks to a generous naming gift by the Utah Emergency Physicians.

Last updated Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - 11:15pm

OGDEN -- A group of stakeholders put the brakes on a proposed $156 million streetcar system Wednesday so a city council consultant can review a study associated with the project.

The stakeholders include representatives from the city, South Ogden, Weber County Commission, Weber Area Council of Governments, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Utah Transit Authority, Utah Department of Transportation, McKay-Dee Hospital, Weber State University and Ogden/Weber Chamber of Commerce.

The group agreed to delay work on the project at the city council's request so consultant GB Arrington, who works for PB PlaceMaking Inc., based in Portland, Ore., can determine the viability of federal funding for the project and its potential economic impacts.
