Farmington is a station in Farmington, Utah, United States served by FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail that operates along the Wasatch Front from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County.
Description
The Station is located immediately west of the I-15/US-89/Legacy Parkway (SR-68)/Park Lane (SR-225) interchanges. The official address of the Station, according to UTA is 450 N 850 West, but it is actually located at the south end of Station Parkway.[4] Station Parkway is accessed by turning southeast off Park Lane (this section of the street is also known as North 1100 West) and then following Station Parkway through the roundabout. Park Lane is accessed from either I-15 or US-89 southbound by way of the appropriate Park Lane interchange. From northbound I-15 the Station is accessed by way of the US-89 northbound exit and then the Park Lane interchange on US-89.
The Station is located on approximately 17 acres (69,000 m2) of land[5] and is part of the Station Park commercial developement. Since Union Pacific Railroad track run northwest to southeast between the FrontRunner platform and the parking lot for the Station the use of a pedestrian bridge is necessary to cross over the tracks. The top of this bridge is visible from I-15. The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the Station southbound at 10:30 am 26 April 2008.[3] The Station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 870 parking spaces available.[6] The Station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[7]
FrontRunner has about 25 round trips on weekdays between Ogden and Provo (through Salt Lake City). Trains run hourly from about 4:30 am to just after midnight on weekdays (increasing to half hour runs for the morning and evening commutes). Saturdays have hourly runs from about 6:00 am to 1:30 am the next morning. There is currently no FrontRunner service on Sundays. Each weekday there is service to Pleasant View with two trains picking up passengers in the morning and two more dropping off passengers in the evening for the commute.[8]
Station Park
Station Park is commercial developement that was planned specifically in conjunction with the construction of the Farmington Station and is located south of the Station. It is intended to be similar to the Gateway Center, only bigger. A 62-acre (250,000 m2) shopping complex is nearly complete and is within walking distance of the Farmington Station, featuring a 16-screen Cinemark movie theater, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, J. C. Penney, Ross, Staples, Petco, Lane Bryant, Sports Authority and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Upon completion there will be a hotel, sixty shops and about 10 restaurants, as well as office space for lease.[9] Residential facilities will also be included in Station Park upon completion.
