there were two suggestions for the route. the first was made by engineer ferdinand bjerke, who worked for the norwegian state railways, on behalf of the company. the line would connect to the city tramway at ilevolden after following the ila line for torvet, and continue up byåsenveien as a street tram until bergsli gate. here it would continue in its own right-of-way, as a single track line up nyveibakken, past gamle åsvei to bygrensen, breidablikk, turning west at hoem, rognheim and to munkvoll. from munkvoll it would continue south of kyvannet and north of lianvannet and then again head north to fjeldseter.
