Description
editThe station is located at 5651 West Old Bingham Highway and is accessible from that roadway.[3] It is also slightly northeast of the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85)/Old Bingham Highway interchange. The station has a free park and ride lot with 420 parking spaces available, but there are plans for more than 620 parking spaces.[1][4] In the early planning stages, the station was referred to as "5600 West Station", but later changed to the current name.[4][5][3] Notwithstanding, the signage at the station (the Park and Ride and the passenger platform) indicates "5651 W. Old Bingham Hwy". The station opened August 7, 2011, as part of the Red Line (Mid-Jordan) and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.[2]
