Streetcar Design Changes Update
Since the completion of the Environmental Assessment in November 2010 and issuance of the Finding of No Significant Impact in February 2011, some design changes have occurred to the project. The key design changes include 1) shifting the proposed streetcar track to the south within the UTA owned right-of-way, and 2) moving some of the stations. The specific changes are described in the Re-Evaluation for the Track Shift and the Re-Evaluation for the Station Changes. Please provide any comments you may have regarding the re-evaluations and design changes by January 20, 2012 at rideuta.com. You can download the documents at the following links:

Results from the Community Visioning Workshop on Aug 25, 2011
The Community Visioning Workshop held on August 25, 2011, was a follow-up to the May 12, 2011, Community Visioning Workshop and subsequent community outreach events. The design team for the Sugar House Streetcar incorporated public comment to develop the graphics (see links below) of what the streetcar corridor and streetcar stops could look like under three funding scenarios: 1) current funding, 2) additional private and public investment, and 3) additional private and public investment beyond scenario two.
Valuable public comment was received at the workshop and will be implemented by the Sugar House Streetcar design team into a final visioning package prior to being presented to the Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake City Councils. If you have yet to comment during the Community Visioning process, then you are encouraged to offer your feedback on Salt Lake City's Open City Hall by following this link.
