Deseret News Station Park Article

Deseret News also reports on the Station Park development here in Farmington Utah.  This is no surprise that DNews has published this article as the SLTrib and the Clipper have already reported on this in the last week.  Here is the Deseret News article:  Farmington project to break ground.

The article does add some new information about the tenant mix:  "Cinemark movie theater, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, J.C. Penney, Ross, Staples, Petco, Lane Bryant, Sports Authority and Bed, Bath & Beyond, all within walking distance of the FrontRunner parking lot."  This is a first we have seen Petco and Sports Authority as named tenants in published media.  You can see the whole list of tenants here:  Updated Station park Site Plan

Interesting how the article highlights opinions on how close the development is to residential neighborhoods.  Mr. Dougherty uses the words "within walking distance".  There is concern that getting in and out of the development will not be pedestrian friendly.  This probably has more to do with the City getting its act together than the fault of the development.  Hopefully the City will put sidewalks all along Clark Lane especially west of Park Lane.   

Currently the FrontRunner Station cannot be accessed by foot.  The main access road to the station explicitly states no to foot traffic.  They weren't kidding when they called FrontRunner a commuter train.  The only authorized way to get there is by hopping on wheels.  Hopefully the City and CenterCal will work together to make pedestrian access from west residential neighborhoods a reality.
