I love Salt Lake City, I've lived all over and Salt Lake definitely has the very best City planning I have ever seen by far. Got to hand it to the people that made this possible. I love living here!
@pavilionking06 that would b awesome I cant wait 4 it! I bet the streetcar will be a great help to everyone who lives across the Willamette that bus is always pack during 3 pm- 7 pm I hope they work on extending the green line to Oregon city then cut the buses that would be even more awesome lol. Because that trip to Oregon City from Clackamas town center and downtown is a long ride, I liked it sometimes, but other times when I just wanted 2 get home, it sucked lol. I hope Utah can do more too!
@bcroz76 20 or so years ago I used to take busses around SL a lot, and it was bad. I had one commute that was nearly 2 hours (murray to magna). It has vastly improved over the years, though I have found that it took a very long time for people to get the idea that public transport here sucked out of their heads. It really is great at this point, and is still growing fast.
@pavilionking06 Don't know what your talking about, the UTA Trax and public tranportation system in SLC, was named the best public transit in the country. plus the one time I was in portland, I didn't see any difference of the walkable, bike-able, livability there then in SLC, probably the only difference is that in Portland you can't walk around at night, in SLC we can still do that.
@pavilionking06 You are effin correct buddy!! Portland rules ALL public transit!!! I loved Portlands buses and max. Here are some facts for those that want to disagree... Portland buses runs till 2:30am sometimes 3:00 am, Portlands bus stops are every block we arent talking utah blocks but Portlands blocks which is shorter, Portland bus stops are very convenient and stops at the doors where u need to go, Portland max stops every 10 mins and the stops are close together making it convenient.
@pavilionking06 isnt the milwaukie line already running the green line? I left after they completed it and after it opened to the public, wish it was there way before because I worked by the clackamas town mall and dreaded the bus 72 lol. because of all the people on it. They have been working on the Willamette one for a few years now i want to go back to Oregon just to ride that one lol. Been waiting for it since they marked the roads for it.
The comments about SLC having poor public transit are absurd. I have lived for years in several big cities, including Las Vegas, Salt Lake, and Seattle. When I arrived in Seattle, having heard all of the hype about its great public transit, I was dumbstruck to see that it couldn't hold a candle to SLC. As further evidence, SLC was voted best small city public transit system in the country several times over. I know its trendy to bag on SLC, but at least get your facts straight.
Cons of Utah transit Utah buses do not run late like Portlands buses making it not so convenient, Utah buses has less stops making a stop to where you need to be a mile walk, downtown stops are ok making it convenient for downtown only the stops to the outer cities suck badly!! And most buses end at 10:45 or 7:45 making it inconvenient for those who work late.
@knowof your bizz Try getting a thing of liquor past 7 p.m. or on a Sunday in Salt Lake. It's a big pain in the fucking ass having to buy booze in a poorly state-run liquor store.
Once you have lived in Utah all your life and move elsewhere, and then come back Utah looks pretty dried up and ugly... Just what I experienced moving back from Oregon to here.

Love it! Salt Lake sure continues to change over the years! Can't wait for City Creek to be done!

@snowangel246 I am like you and have travelled and lived all over the states including living abroad. SLC is a phenomenal place to live.
Every year salt lake gets better and better.
