"New" Draperites Whining Goes On.....
Draper group seeks referendum on TRAX
Here we go again, a small group of "new" Draperites want to stop the light rail line from going down the best path. Instead they rather see it go down State which would slow it downa and create other issues.
I walk the Rockwell Trail sometimes and just knew that some of the people buying some of those overpriced homes would hate to see the big mean evil light rail train going any where near their precious homes.
Hopefully common sense will prevail and UTA will not become like the MTA in Los Angeles and give in to every little NIMBY and BANANA that comes along.

City to fill TRAX funding shortfall
Fund transit projects with tax
TRAX changes signs on northbound trains
-This article once again shows that there are two UTA's: there is TRAX which I do support but it is treated much better than the other UTA: the bus system. For example here is a quote from the article talking about TRAX stations and cars:
"We want to keep them very clean and simple so the passengers are able to notice the safety information . . . and not be bombarded by advertising," Jones said.
Compare that to the bus system where they continue to support putting wraps on the buses that make looking out the windows a pain and discourage ridership.

We so much need the expansion of TRAX but when politicians say "trust us" I just want to run screaming....

More on the Transit Tax Proposal
Jordan, WVC TRAX lines appear "a lock" but airport, Draper routes may be out
Why should the state legislature be dictating how a measure in Salt Lake County be spent? Oh thats right, they are once again showing that they have ultimate power in the state and will dictate to you how your money should be spent. After all who needs a communist dictatorship when you have the Utah State Legislature?
