County Employee Blocking bus stop
com
Yesterday I walked to Murray-Holladay Road and 1300 East to catch the southbound 13 bus to work. At that corner there is a Mountain America Credit Union that is doing some construction work on their drive through.
Yesterday, a county employee driving a Ford Escape with county pool number 18413 pulled up and parked right in front of the bus stop while he went over to inspect the work being done. All this guy had to do was pull past the driveway and he wouldn't be blocking anything. I don't know if he was too caugth up in his own self importance to realize he was blocking a bus stop, or was just too lazy to walk a few feet farther, but either way he blocked a bus stop and could have caused major issues if a senior citizen or someone physically challenged would have been trying to catch the bus.
I will sent a letter off to the county but expect little to happen to this guy. Why can't people be more considerate?

Deseret News Article on Southtowne Mall
This must be the reason UTA is gone from Southtowne Mall. The question is, what provision is being made for the return of UTA bus service or are the mall owners anti-transit?
South Towne to expand
I do have to give the owners credit, the concept of the hybrid mall looks interesting and may be the future of many malls with the major changes taking place in retail.

My Proposed UTA Restructuring-Route 318
My proposal to revamp Utah Transit Authority bus service.
I have gone through all my proposed local routes. Now I am going to start with the Limited Route buses. This buses will make limited stops on a portion or all of their routes. They are designed for speed over local service. This routes along with the Express routes covered later will define "Bus Rapid Transit." All of these routes would get light controls and would used specialized BRT style buses even if part of their route is local service. Another goal for these routes would be to have Proof of Payment fare systems like TRAX on their limited sections.
Route 318:
From the Intermodal Depot via 600 West, 200 South, 700 East/Van Winkle Expressway/Highland Drive (2000 East) to the Highland Drive Transit Center.

I have gone through all my proposed local routes. Now I am going to start with the Limited Route buses. This buses will make limited stops on a portion or all of their routes. They are designed for speed over local service. This routes along with the Express routes covered later will define "Bus Rapid Transit." All of these routes would get light controls and would used specialized BRT style buses even if part of their route is local service. Another goal for these routes would be to have Proof of Payment fare systems like TRAX on their limited sections.

Article in the Tribune about the bus cuts
Bus routes set for changes
While I have made my opinion know about most of these bus cuts, the article mentions about the renumbering of Route 43 to 17. Why is UTA doing this? What purpose does it service? After all its not like UTA has a bus number system unless you count that Utah County is the 800 series and Weber County is the 600 series. Just another one of UTA's uncustomer friendly decisions.
