Utah Transit Authority and the Federal Transit Administration have scheduled an open house about the planned Sugar House streetcar project on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Sprague Library, 2131 S. 1100 East.

The meeting will focus on findings of an environmental assessment that recommends building the line along a UTA-owned right of way at approximately 2300 South.

The project would provide service between the Central Pointe TRAX Station at 250 W. 2100 South and Highland Drive at 2100 South, a distance of about two miles.

Plans call for seven stations: Central Pointe, State Street, 300 East, 500 East, 700 East, 900 East and McClelland Street. Stations may also be considered at 600 East and 800 East instead of at 700 East and 900 East.
