Sandy Civic Center (UTA station)
Encyclopedia
Sandy Civic Center is a light rail
station in Sandy
, Utah
serviced by the Blue Line of the Trax
system. It is currently the southern terminus of the Blue Line, but an extension to Draper
is expected to be built by 2014. As the southernmost station in UTA's rail system near the I-15 corridor, Sandy Civic Center provides connections to both express and semi-express bus lines serving various portions of Utah County via I-15, though the need for such buses will decrease when the FrontRunner South commuter rail line opens. The commuter rail service is also expected by 2014.
Sandy Civic Center is just southeast of Jordan High School
on a hill overlooking Sandy's downtown area to the west, but major downtown destinations such as Sandy's city hall and the South Towne Center
mall are between a quarter mile and a mile away. The hillside itself still has many undeveloped open fields. Suburban residential areas and a park are just east of the station, but they are only accessible from the station via an indirect route to the Sego Lily Drive grade crossing.
