It would be impossible to overestimate the effect that TRAX has had on Downtown Salt Lake City
over these past, brief ten years. In many ways it has been a key element in spurring the
development and change of Downtown as if overnight. Once brown, blighted industrial earth,
strewn with rusting metal, has given way to block upon block of vibrant new urbanscape.
Even those areas of downtown that were considered upscale are experiencing billions
in redevelopment, in order to accomodate a whole new mind-set.

As with many Downtown Main Streets across the U.S., Salt Lake City's Main was experiencing
a slow and painful death. Now, a whole new future is blossoming on Main, with new residential, the construction of
hundreds of retail establishments including regional flagship department stores such as Macy's and
Nordstrom, new condo towers, clubs, broadway style theatres, and restaurants etc.

The 400 South corridor, which shuttles students from downtown and up the mountain bench
to the University of Utah. Just another vibrant corridor being created, due in great part to TRAX
unknown
Taken yesterday by forumer, Future Mayor. This City Creek Center development is
comprised of 25 acres and is flanked and interspersed by Downtown TRAX, lightrail.

It will be fascinating to see what the next ten years brings to Salt Lake City, as many more miles of
light rail, commuter rail and now trolley's comes to town.
