Proposals include:
• A tunnel through the mountain linking Alta and Brighton.
• Another tunnel or an aerial tram to connect Brighton to Park City.
• A train running up Little Cottonwood Canyon, or perhaps rapid transit buses in a dedicated lane protected from avalanches by snowsheds.
• Major land exchanges that allow more development at the bases of Wasatch Front ski resorts — plus an expansion of three of their boundaries. In exchange, sizable chunks of private land would be transferred into public ownership and receive some sort of additional status to protect their watershed and backcountry recreational values.
• A complete trail network interconnecting the Wasatch Front and Back.
• Express buses from Salt Lake City International Airport to Park City, maybe even a train down the line.
