Future
Salt Lake City still struggles with its identity, trying to strike a balance between capitol of a major religion and modern secular city. Efforts are being made to revitalize the downtown and to adjust to the phenomenal growth of the area. The LDS Church recently bought the Crossroads and ZCMI malls and are planning on merging them into one mall connected by walkways, and with new apartment and office buildings nearby. The commuter rail FrontRunner is in place along the northern Wasatch Front, with extensions planned for the southern portion of the region. Light rail extensions are planned to provide service to the western and southern suburbs, as well as to Salt Lake International Airport. The controversial Legacy Highway has one segment completed, with more planned for construction through the west side of the Salt Lake Valley.
