Description
editThe station is located at 10605 South Grandville Avenue (5600 West).[4] Since its construction, the station has only been accessible from the southwest end of West South Jordan Parkway, but with continued construction of the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85), it will eventually be accessible via the Mountain View Corridor/West South Jordan Parkway interchange just to the southwest. When the station was constructed, there was almost nothing in its immediate vicinity. The station has a free Park and Ride lot with 200 parking spaces available, but there are plans for a total of about 400 parking spaces.[2][5] In the early planning stages, the station was referred to as "Daybreak North Station", but later changed to the current name.[5][6][4] The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the southwestern end of the Red Line. The station opened August 7, 2011, as part of the Red Line (Mid-Jordan) and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.[3]
