Blue Line

Midvale Fort Union is a light rail station in Midvale, Utah serviced by the Blue Line of the UTA TRAX system. The station is more than a mile west of the historic settlement and modern commercial district of Fort Union and also a mile northeast of Midvale's historic downtown area. The low-density retail and commercial development in the area around the station serves as a bridge between the two more established centers, but the TRAX line is in the wrong place to serve either of them well. The immediate station area has become a center for affordable hotel and motel development, however, due to easy access to Interstates 15 and 215 and the station's status as a hub for UTA's seasonal ski buses to Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons.
