Description
editThe station is located at 875 East 400 South (East University Boulevard/SR-186),[3] with the island platform being in the median of 400 South. As part of the UTA's Art in Transit program, the station features a sculpture of stainless steel and recycled bicycle wheels created by Stuart Keeler and Michael Machnic entitled The Place Between.[9] Unlike most TRAX stations, 900 East does not have a Park and Ride lot.[3] The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the former University Line. The station was opened on 15 December 2001[2] as part of the former University Line and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.
Notes
edit- ^ In about 2012 UTA began frequently referring to this station as 900 East & 400 South,[3][4][5] presumably to reduce possible confusion with a stop on the newly completed S Line also located just off 900 East, but about eighteen blocks further south. However, the streetcar stop was later designated as Sugarmont.[6][7][8]
