Centerville City Newsletter - July 2012


From the Mayor's Message:


What happened to UTA’s transit study? About two years ago, UTA conducted an environmental study about transit options for South Davis County. One of the alternatives considered in the study was a street car option from Centerville to downtown Salt Lake. The study created a great amount of community interest and raised concerns about the impacts of a street car system. The study results made it clear that rail transit could not qualify for federal funding based on the projected cost per rider. Since no funding source is available, the rail option is no longer being studied. UTA will be studying the possibility of bus rapid transit in Bountiful and North Salt Lake. Centerville is not part of that study.
