5600 W. will first get BRT with dedicated bi-directional lanes from 2700 S. to 6200 S. UTA is and has been working on purchasing ROW for the full length of the line.

Once Mountain View is a full freeway, projected around 2030-2035, the 5600 BRT line must be converted to LRT. That is the requirement in the EIS for approval of the project by the federal government.

The full length LRT line would extend from the existing Airport ending to the International Center and then run South down or near 5600 W. At or around 2700 S. it will then become center running and run down the center of 5600 W in the upgraded BRT dedicated section.

From there it will run south to approximately 9800 S where it will join the existing end/beginning of the Red Line.

Further plans have it running further south into Herriman and possibly further south from there but that alignment isn't fully known. The Herriman extension probably won't happen until 3500 S BRT line is upgraded to Streetcar or LRT.

Eventually a further south LRT connection between Herriman, Riverton and Draper is planned to take over a planned BRT connection.

I do try to keep up on the transit expansion in the SL Valley when possible.
