Construction to extend the S-Line streetcar farther into Sugar House is expected to begin this year. It also sets up the potential for a major larger expansion in the future.
Rail transit represents the largest opportunity to expand ADA compliance, and public officials are aggressively accessing federal funding to reverse this problem.
SALT LAKE CITY A plan to extend S-Line streetcar and funding for a new mid-valley Salt Lake County rapid transit bus system were just some of the projects approved under a bill that included over $1 billion in state spending to accelerate transportation and other infrastructure projects across the state.
HB433 cleared the Utah Legislature on it s second-to-last day. It authorized $264 million in bonds for specified transportation and transit projects. It also appropriated about $834.6 million in one-time spending from state revenue sources.
Sen. Kirk Cullimore, who served as the floor sponsor of the bill, explained before the legislation passed that it was meant to speed up a lot of projects on the transportation commission list and address other priority projects in Utah.
