“It is a fabulous idea,” council member Ana Valdemoros said. “I think it can revolutionize downtown.” This rendering from The Rio Grande Plan created by Cameron Blakely shows an aerial view of how the rail yard in Salt Lake City could be reimagined. Then he had an epiphany. Crews could build a “train box” underneath 500 West. Bury the tracks and you ease driving between west and east. The city could replace the rail yard with new homes and businesses. That development would be a hefty source of revenue.
Once completed, the old rail yard would no longer be necessary, providing more than 70 acres west of downtown for development.
