Draper Extension
An extension of the Blue Line to Draper is scheduled to open in August 2013. Construction on the extension began in 2010 as part of UTA's FrontLines 2015 project, which also includes the West Valley section of the Green Line, the Mid-Jordan extension of the Red Line, and the southern extension of the FrontRunner commuter rail line. The Draper extension will continue south from Sandy Civic Center Station Station to Crescent View at 11400 South, Kimballs Lane at 11800 South & 700 East, and finally Draper Town Center on Pioneer Road (12400 South). This extension is expected to open in August 2013. Eventually, two more yet to be finalized stations are planned for further on down the line, one on Highland Drive at about 13800 South and the other on 14600 South just east of I-15.

Famous quotes containing the word extension:
“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it, is [in?] his love of justice.... Repeal the Missouri compromise—repeal all compromises—repeal the declaration of independence—repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
