5600 West BRT is a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) line in western Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, that will be operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and will run along 5600 West (SR-172). Initially, it will only run along a short segment almost entirely within West Valley City, with a connection to Downtown Salt Lake City. However, it will eventually run from South Jordan to the Salt Lake City International Airport.) It is the fifth of several BRT lines that UTA either either operates or has planned for in Utah County and the Salt Lake Valley. UTA's BRT is described by UTA as "light rail on rubber tires". While it was initially planned for phase 1 of the project to be completed in 2015, the project is currently stalled. Description Phase 1 of the 5600 West BRT line will run along a segment of South 5600 West (SR-172) from 6200 South to 2700 West within Kearns and West Valley City. From the northern end of this segment, it will connect with Downtown Salt Lake City along a route (without any stops) following West 2700 North (Lake Park Boulevard), Bangerter Highway (SR-154), 21st South Freeway (SR-201), and Interstate 15 (I-15). The initial route is projected to include 6 stops and run at 10-15 minute intervals and cost $100 million. UTA had anticipated having Phase 1 of the 5600 West BRT operational by the end of 2015. Phase 2 will extend the route to a total of from Herriman to the Salt Lake City International Airport, with the bus connection to Downtown Salt Lake City being eliminated. Phase 2 will also include connections to four TRAX stations: the Airport station on the Green Line and the 5600 West Old Bingham Highway, South Jordan Parkway, and Daybreak Parkway stations on the Red Line. Phase 2 was originally estimated to be completed sometime before 2025. Phase 3 calls for the eventual replacement of this BRT line with a TRAX light rail line along the entire Phase 2 corridor. There is no estimated completion date for Phase 3, except that it will not be until after Phase 2. History In 2010, while expressing their support for the 5600 West BRT, West Valley City indicated that they do not ever foresee the need for a light rail line along South 5600 West. Of particular concern was UTA's plans to secure the additional right
