Route F514
UTA proposes to split and realign the F514 into two smaller East and West Flex routes focusing on better frequency. The East Flex Route would service what is currently being serviced by the F514 in Sandy and along South Jordan Gateway and Lone Peak Parkway (i.e. Sandy Civic TRAX, Sandy City Offices, SLCC Larry H Miller Campus, South Jordan FrontRunner, Valley HS, and the businesses nearby Election Rd). The West Flex Route would service Daybreak Parkway TRAX, Daybreak, The District and the River Heights Area. Therefore, the portion of the current F514 from 3600 West to Lone Peak Parkway/South Jordan Gateway along 11400 South would be discontinued.
