SALT LAKE CITY A plan to extend S-Line streetcar and funding for a new mid-valley Salt Lake County rapid transit bus system were just some of the projects approved under a bill that included over $1 billion in state spending to accelerate transportation and other infrastructure projects across the state.
HB433 cleared the Utah Legislature on it s second-to-last day. It authorized $264 million in bonds for specified transportation and transit projects. It also appropriated about $834.6 million in one-time spending from state revenue sources.
Sen. Kirk Cullimore, who served as the floor sponsor of the bill, explained before the legislation passed that it was meant to speed up a lot of projects on the transportation commission list and address other priority projects in Utah.

It s also forecast to dump several inches of snow in some of the region s valleys and impact areas of central Utah.
