I prefer the East LRT alignment. I don't like the stubbed line into the prison redevelopment area though.

I think the stub should be dropped until the Red line is extended to the area. The money from the stub would be better spent on extending the Blue line further south or enhancing local buses to make the connections.

I think the stub itself is close to $500 Million. That is enough to extend the line to American Fork and provide some additional local buses to the prison redevelopment area. The northern area, Sandy and South Jordan, should be funded by the 2 cities. They both want a transit loop between Trax and FrontRunner but neither wants to fund it. Both cities have extra funds from the Prop 1 sales tax that they could use a portion of for transit rather than using it all on roads.

I think Draper should also need to direct funding from the prop 1 sales tax to transit service through the prison redevelopment area. The State can provide the majority of the funding for the East LRT alignment through to Lehi to settle their deal with Adobe. Utah County, Lehi and American Fork could offer up additional funding to help get the rest of the extension built.

If they only want Trax into Lehi and not further south for now, use the extra $500 Million from the Stub to double track some of the harder sections of FrontRunner. This would be a better way for the State to help fund transit rather than spending the money on the stub.
