BYU football game will not be played this year. (Today we say: James is proof that good guys can succeed.)įor the first time since World War II, the Utah vs. He likes working his craft, and it shows. He’s witty, he’s knowledgeable, and he makes the mundane fun without resorting to the banal rants taken by so many other talk jocks. In 2000 we wrote: James’ clever sense of humor really shines.
And they get bonus points for still having a mostly local lineup of talent doing live broadcasts and keeping in touch with listeners. X96’s mix of classic ’80s and ’90s alternative hits, blended with newer indie rock, has kept the station firmly secured in the hearts (and dashboard radios) of fans across northern Utah. So then the question arises why couldn’t this bus route be used for all new Light rail TRAX lines to which Arky responded “TRAX is still very useful, its brought the Salt Lake Valley closer together,” adding, “We’re finding in certain situations its more cost effective to go with the BRT’s.Listeners can complain about Mumford & Sons all they wish, but the truth is that X96 is one of the few alternative destinations remaining on Utah’s dial now that oldies, classic-rock and community-radio stations alike have started playing the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin like they’re going out of style. “Why commit a billion-dollar infrastructure that may or may not be needed so the BRT really makes it flexible… easy to operate… easy to change,” says Stout. A bus route can be scaled up to meet demand once it is there. With the prison still operating, a billion-dollar investment doesn’t make sense since there isn’t a demand for more transportation. One person who supports the plan is Christopher Stout, Co-Founder of the Utah Transit Riders Union Advocacy group who told us “It has all the benefits of rail and it takes cars off the road.”Īnother benefit is the fact they can scale a bus route while a TRAX line is an absolute. “People have to have a willingness do to that,” he says, “to get out of their car maybe just one day a week.” The key though is getting people to use them. The Utah Transit Authority has used them to great success in Utah county around the universities and plans to also use them in Ogden as well. “We liken it to TRAX on rubber wheels” Arky says, “They are big long buses they can carry a lot of people… they can move very fast most of the time in their own designated lane.” A Bus rapid transit ( BRT) route would only cost about $300 - $450 Millon

UTA estimates a full new TRAX line would cost around TRAX $600 - $850 millon.
With a cost analysis in hand, officials have now rejected the TRAX project in favor of something called Bus Rapid Transit or BRT’s. The plan was a 1-billion-dollar extension of TRAX into Utah County from Draper over Point of the Mountain. Since the Draper State Prison is being relocated, and new housing and businesses are moving in, a UTA route between Draper and Lehi is much needed. Media Relations Specialist for the Utah Transit Authority says “I was so glad I was on front runner and I knew that I was going to get where I was going much faster than they were.” “I used to go down and commute to a job in Utah county and I remember riding front runner down there and looking up at the lights every night people bumper to bumper” Carl Arky, Sr. LEHI, Utah - Many who travel back and forth across the Utah and Salt Lake county lines knows that evening traffic can be a nightmare in what is considered to be one of the worst bottle necks in the state.
