I was wondering the same thing. I didn't know if I missed something.

I completely agree. Clarify the transit map for everyone.

In my opinion, Washington, DC has the best local transit maps nationwide. Very simple.

That seems to be the case, all because the owners (maybe not even the owners maybe just the residents) of 11, mostly run down homes. UTA and the city really need to pursue the DT loop and the downtown street car line.

We do have to remember that there is the potential for a large number of people coming into central point via FrontRunner south, potentially more than currently coming through from FrontRunner north. FrontRunner north has 7 stations while FrontRunner south has 8 stations (currently being built) 5 of which are in Utah County nowhere near a Trax stop, with at least 2 more stations, maybe 3 coming online by 2025.

Wow, it's about time!!

Businesses brace for State Street construction

It could be a long summer for some businesses on State Street in Midvale.

The Utah Department of Transportation plans to widen the main thoroughfare by one lane in each direction from 6400 South to 8000 South starting after the Fourth of July holiday...

I see a lot of Murphy's Law moments in that rendering. I also see people walking outside, which is weird.

John Martin · #**3047** Posted **May 19, 2011, 8:41 PM**

Renderings with lots of people always make me chuckle.

Especially the family picnic five feet away from the train

Besides, Isn't the plan to have two parallel tracks? There's only one track in this rendering.

Future Mayor · #**3049** Posted **May 19, 2011, 9:55 PM**

I was under the impression that there will be two sets of tracks at the station areas.

The trainside picnic and buildings stolen directly from Daybreak's Founder's Village are a little weird looking, but it's certainly a nice vision for what this could become:

Better?

Hahaha

SLCdude · #**3054** Posted **May 20, 2011, 12:26 AM**

YES!

H4vok · #**3055** Posted **May 20, 2011, 3:41 AM**

Does anybody know if the Daybreak North TRAX park and ride lot will be accessible for the grand opening? I've emailed UTA a couple times and I can't get an answer back from them. That lot would be the closest one to where I live...

SLCdude · #**3056** Posted **May 20, 2011, 8:42 AM**

I would imagine so, but I'll see what I can find out at work. I'm about to begin my internship with UTA TRAX!
