I agree 100% cololi.
I have said all along that I think the best route is the 600 West route because if uses the hub as just that, a Central Station(hub). I understand the concern about a viaduct in the 600 W neighborhood and I think the best solution would have been to send Front Runner below grade around 100-300 North and brought it back to the surface at Central Station. Then trax could simply run at grade up 600 N to N. Temple. The second (hub) or transfer point below the N. Temple viaduct really will hurt the potential of Central Station.
If a traveler is headed from SL INT to Ogden and have to stop at the hub, they may be inclined to check out the bustling neighborhood around the hub while they are there and catch FR in an hour or so, but transferring at the N. Temple transfer station will create no pedestrian activity.
I am sorry Zionide and others that have homes or property in the 600 W neighborhood but for the long range future of the city, the 600 W option new viaduct or not is the best option. imho
Speaking of City Council, when are they having the vote on the route?
