At the northeast corner of South Temple is the business and archive center for the Morman Church. At the northwest corner of this city center intersection is Temple Square which includes the Morman Temple, Tabernacle and Visitors Center. As UTA was developing its final construction plans in the CBD for two construction contracts, Zion Securities began construction of a high rise office building at the corner of South Temple and Main Street, with a parking garage under Main Street. However, through negotiation and careful phasing of construction, the UTA was ultimately able to convince the City that construction in two block segments would not have twice the impact of one block and the total duration of the work would be reduced significantly. Such a plan would have reduced construction efficiency and increased cost.
The City of Salt Lake initially wanted construction to occur in one block at time. The LRT alignment is a double track system in the center of Main Street from 700 South to South Temple and east on South Temple to the Delta Center, a distance of seven city blocks on Main and four city blocks on South Temple. In developing the construction contracts for the (Central Business District) CBD the primary concern was reducing the inconvenience and loss of business which inherently occurs with major construction in city streets. The maximum running speed of the Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) will be 55 miles per hour. The passenger and freight service will be timed separately, with freight activities occurring only in the hours when TRAX is out of operation.
and conclude at 12:00 a.m., in the dedicated rail corridor, TRAX will share track with Salt Lake City Southern Railroad (SLCSRR), a shortline freight operation. The hours of operation will begin at 5:00 a.m. TRAX will operate at 10 minute, 20 minute and 30 minute headways depending on the time of day. The railroad ROW currently contains single and double track segments with a large storage yard located along the ROW in the City of Murray. At that point TRAX will share Salt Lake City streets and will terminate at the Delta Center on South Temple Street.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is constructing a Light Rail Transit (LRT or TRAX) project running from a southern terminus at 10000 South in the City of Sandy northerly within the existing UP railroad right-of-way to 1300 South in Salt Lake City.
