Jackson/Euclid[1][3][2] is a light rail station in Salt Lake City, Utah serviced by the Green Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX system. The Green Line provides service from the Salt Lake City International Airport to West Valley City (via Downtown Salt Lake City and connects with the rest of the TRAX system, as well as UTA's FrontRunner commuter rail and S Line streetcar.[1]

Description

The station is located at 820 West North Temple Street, with the island platform in the median of the street. Unlike many TRAX stations, Jackson/Euclid does not have a Park and Ride lot. Like many other UTA stations, this station has art work included in its design. The art work for the Jackson/Euclid station is murals that include a colorful collection of images that reflect the vibrant neighborhoods along the Airport TRAX Line. The set of murals is called Comunidades en Solidaridad: A Collective Transformative Vision and was designed by Ruby Chacón of Salt Lake City.[4] The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the Green Line. The station opened on 14 April 2013 and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. It is also one of four TRAX stations (all of which are located the north end of the Green Line) that is powered by solar panels located on top of the station's canopy through a project which was initially funded in part by Rocky Mountain Power.[5]

All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.[6] Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".[7]

Bus connections[Note 2]

Notes

  1. ↑ Train schedule is current as of Change Day, 17 August 2014
  2. ↑ Bus routes are current as of Change Day, 17 August 2014
  3. 1 2 Routes 519 and 520 follow the exactly the same course, except that 519 runs clockwise through Rose Park, while Route 520 runs counterclockwise through Rose Park
  4. 1 2 Routes 919 and 920 follow the exactly the same course (and nearly the course as routes 519 and 520), except routes 919 and 920 head north to West High School after crossing the North Temple Viaduct instead of south to Downtown Salt Lake City. Also the morning run of route 919 (inbound to West High School) follows the northern portion of the course of routes 519 and 520, but the afternoon run (outbound) follows the southern portion of the course of routes 519 and 520. Conversely, the morning run (inbound) of route 920 follows the southern portion of the course and the afternoon run (outbound) of route 920 follows the northern course. The result is that school bound riders will catch one route to school, but will take the other route to return home.)
