Description
The station is located at 11405 South Grandville Avenue (about 5150 West) with both of the station's side platforms situated in the median of that road. The station is easily accessible from West Daybreak Parkway as well as the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85), via the Mountain View Corridor/West Daybreak Parkway interchange just to the southwest. The station is immediately east of the University of Utah Health Care Occupational Medicine facility. The station has a free Park and Ride lot with 400 parking spaces available, but there are plans for a total of about 600 parking spaces. In the original planning stages, the station was referred to as "Daybreak South Station", but later changed to the current name. The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the southwestern end of the Red Line. The station opened 7 August 2011 as part of the Red Line (Mid-Jordan) and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.
All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities. Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".
Music system
The station features a music system above the platform shelters that plays short excerpts every few minutes throughout the day from train-related songs such as "Midnight Special", "This Train", "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe". The music system was created by Denver artist Jim Green and chosen by UTA, along with the city of South Jordan and its public arts advisory board, as well as Kennecott Land, Daybreak's developer. It was commissioned as part of UTA's Art in Transit program, which is also partially funded by the Federal Transit Administration.
