I also don't quite understand why...I mean, Draper has it's appeal for certain residents, and that appeal isn't the urban lifestyle. It's not living in a community like that ^^^ . It's suburban and up in the foothills, and it doesn't fit in with that design at all. Even Sandy City, in the complex around their City Hall, then up to Jordan Commons and Rio Tinto, has more of an infrastructure than Draper does. I guess I don't see who in Draper would move to Draper, and then want to see that. ^^^ It seems to contradict everything that would be appealing about Draper in the first place.
I can see where the city managers would want the tax base to grow, can see how they'd be salivating all over it. But is that what's right for Draper?
In a similar vein, I don't understand the Draper extension of TRAX. Yes, as a stepping stone to routes south of Point of the Mountain, but Draperonians are known more for their SUVs than their affinities for mass transit. Perhaps that has changed with TRAX...I just don't know why UTA spent millions for a few more stations.
Blah blah blah, Draper bugs me.
