BLUFFDALE — Plans to build a FrontRunner stop at The Point are moving forward, but neighbors near the selected site are pushing back against it.

The new commuter railway station near 14600 South is set to be built on the west side of The Point, a 600-acre mixed-use development on the site of the old state prison. Most of the new development is in Draper, but the station is slated for Bluffdale.

Neighbors in the city’s Spring View Farms community said it’s not the right place for it.

“I wouldn’t support this in anybody’s neighborhood,” said Angie Lucas, who has lived in the area for 12 years. “I don’t think it’s meant to be this close to a residential neighborhood.”

Robbie Beckstead, a resident of 13 years, called the decision to build a train station so close to his home “unfortunate.”
