Draper is a station in Draper, Utah, United States served by FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail service from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Salt Lake City to Provo in central Utah County. It is part of the FrontRunner South extension.
The Station is located at 12997 South FrontRunner Boulevard and is easily accessed from I-15 by way of 12300 South (SR-71) interchange. To reach the station, head west from I-15 on 12300 South for about 4,000 feet (1,200 m), then turn left (south) onto Galena Boulevard (550 West), and then left (south) onto FrontRunner Boulevard.[Note 1] (Currently there is no access to FrontRunner Boulevard from the south.) The Station has a free Park and Ride lot with 600 parking spaces available.[2] The Station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[5]
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.[6]
History
The Draper (or Draper/Bluffdale, as it was called in the initial planning stages) and Vineyard Stations were originally not planned to be completed for the initial opening of FrontRunner South, but rather as infill stations to be built at a later date.[7] However, plans changed and the Draper Station was eventually completed in time for the opening of FrontRunner South, while the Vineyard Station is still planned for the future. UTA originally hoped to have the Draper Station further south on the line, but of the four options considered, the current location was chosen as best overall. One of the reasons for this choice was that one of the more preferred locations was also in the middle of a Native American archaeological site.[8] While the Station itself only occupies about 10 acres, the accompanying transit development (similar to Station Park, which is adjacent to the Farmington Station) will occupy a much larger area.
Bus connections
- UTA Route F526 (Draper - Riverton [via 12600 South])
Note
- ^ Currently, nearly all online map services (including Bing Maps, Esri, Google Maps, Here, MapQuest, Mappy, OpenStreetMap, Rand McNally, Terraserver, ViaMichelin, WikiMapia, and Yahoo Maps) do not yet show the new FrontRunner Boulevard, nor the immediately surrounding streets. This applies to both the street maps and the satellite imagery (except that Bing Maps satellite view does show early construction of these roads). The online maps show Galena Drive ending at about 12735 South, about 2,200 feet (670 m) south of 12300 South. However, both the Land Use and Zoning Maps found on the Draper City website[4] show that this road actually continues further south. About 250 feet (76 m) south onto the new portion of Galena Drive it makes a fairly abrupt turn to the southwest. About 250 feet (76 m) further is the intersection with FrontRunner Boulevard, with FrontRunner Boulevard heading due south for about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) before intersecting once again with Galena Drive as it curves back around. The Station is located on the east side of FrontRunner Boulevard.
