Downtown Salt Lake City's Trax Light Rail Downtown Salt Lake City Is noted for its wide streets and spacious blocks, a legacy of the Mormon settlers who laid out the city in 1847. The city was built on a grid system based on the four streets bordering Temple Square, the focus of the downtown area. Inside Temple Square is the Mormon Temple, which took 40 years to build - from 1853 to 1893. Other important sites to visit are the Mormon Tabernacle, the Utah State Capitol Building, the Salt Lake City and County Building, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Madeleine, the University of Utah, and the Delta Center where our Utah Jazz play their home games. Trax light rail was completed in 2001 and provides quick access from one area of the valley to the next although a vehicle is still the choice of transportation means.
