S-Line Extension Update
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
The S-Line Extension project is being progressed by Capital Development in close coordination with Salt Lake City. The existing S-Line service extends 1.85 miles east from the trunk of the Light Rail Transit system. It begins at the Central Point Station and extends through South Salt Lake into the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City.
DISCUSSION:
The project will extend the S-Line 900’ from the Fairmont Station at McClelland St to Highland Drive. Currently there is about 2000’ of double track on the S-Line Between 300 East and 500 East, and a short piece at the Fairmont Station. The project will add about 1400’ of double track between 500 East and 700 East.
ALTERNATIVES:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
The State has allocated $12M in funding to the project. No more than $6M in UTA funds will be utilized for the project. Salt Lake City has applied for TTIF funds. Salt Lake City and the RDA will be contributing property to the project.
The current cost estimate is just under $16M, and does not include the cost of an additional vehicle. The need for an additional vehicle to keep the current 15-minute headways is being evaluated.
