Open house on TRAX is 6 tonight

CRT plans to rally tonight on the City Hall steps before the open house.

Draper City Attorney Doug Ahlstrom said Draper has followed the law. "We're not building TRAX. We have nothing to do with it. That's UTA's project, that's not Draper's," he said.

UTA, on the other hand, said the referendum doesn't affect the agency's plans because it's a referendum over the city's decision. Saley noted that although UTA owns the right-of-way, the agency wants the city's input on development.

"We want to do what Draper feels is best for Draper," Saley said. "We'll definitely work with the city, the mayor and the City Council, and if a referendum or whatever moves forward and we get new direction from the city, we'll certainly sit down and discuss it."

At tonight's meeting, drawings of various transit-oriented development concepts will be displayed. After a presentation, Draper and UTA officials will be available for questions. The open house is at the Draper City Hall, at 1020 East Pioneer Road (12400 South) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
