Historyedit
Construction on the West Valley Intermodal Hub began in 2007 and was completed in 2009 at a cost of approximately $9 million. More than $7 million of that was paid for by the federal government, with the rest being paid for by local taxes.[3] When the hub opened on September 17, 2009 it immediately had service by five local bus routes, in addition to the 3500 South MAX (BRT).[3] At the time of its opening, the hub was more of a bus depot than an intermodal hub, as construction was not yet complete on the light rail line. However, it was anticipated that light rail would serve the station in the near future[5] and it was referred to as the West Valley Intermodal Hub anyway. The station opened with bus service only (including the 3500 South MAX) on September 17, 2009.[3] The TRAX portion opened for service on August 7, 2011 as part of the West Valley extension of the Green Line.[4]
Fairbourne Station is a $500 million 40 acres (16 ha) transit-oriented commercial development that was planned specifically in conjunction with the construction of the West Valley Intermodal Hub.[6] (The area was previously referred to as City Center.)[7] With the hub at its center, sections of the development are eventually planned for areas to the west, north, and east covering the blocks between West 3500 South, South 2700 West (Constitution Way), West 3650 South (Lancer Way), and about 3000 West. It is anchored by the West Valley City civic center (with the West Valley City Police Department to the north, the West Valley City Hall and justice court to the east, and the West Valley Branch of the Salt Lake County Library to the west).[8] The development will add 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of restaurant and retail space to complement the existing 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of space in the nearby Valley Fair Mall.[9] The new Embassy Suites Hotel was completed in July 2012, which includes 162 suites and 6,000 square feet (560 m2) of meeting rooms.[10] When the development is complete there will be 1,000 high-density residences,[11] and 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of office space,[12] 2,200 parking spaces, and 4 acres (1.6 ha) of urban park/plaza space.[7]
