The 9 Line Trail is a linear parkway that currently runs approximately along 900 South between Redwood Road and 700 West, with buffered bike lanes extending the trail to 200 West. Historically, the corridor had been used as the railroad corridor for passenger train arrival to the Salt Lake City Union Depot. Union Pacific abandoned the use of this corridor in 2007. At that time, Salt Lake City acquired the corridor, providing the opportunity to construct today’s 9 Line Trail.
The neighborhoods along the 9 Line are the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. The ethnic diversity contributes to the cultural characteristics of the neighborhoods. The culture of the area includes activities ranging from bicycling, walking and recreating.
This shared-use paved trail represents the first step in a greater vision to connect the Jordan River Parkway and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
