Talks postponed on TRAX expansion

A planned discussion on a possible $895 million bond for TRAX expansion has been postponed.

Salt Lake County leaders on Friday discussed the bond during meetings of the County Council's debt-review committee but came to no real conclusions. The County Council had previously planned to discuss a possible bond for building four new TRAX lines during regularly scheduled meetings Tuesday, but the Utah Transit Authority and the bond were not on the Council's agenda, which was distributed Friday.

If leaders want the bond for light-rail expansion to make the November ballot, they must work quickly, because ballot language on the bond proposals must be ready by the beginning of August.
