Crescent View^[1][2][3] is a light rail station in Sandy, Utah, in the United States, served by the Blue Line of Utah Transit Authority's TRAX light rail system. The Blue Line provides service from Downtown Salt Lake City to Draper.

Description

The station is located in the southern end of Sandy at 361 East 11400 South^[2] and is easily accessed on that road from either I-15 on the west (via the I-15/11400 South interchange) or 700 East (SR-71) on the east. The station is located within a residential area of the city, with no commercial development nearby. Immediately east of the station is the Porter Rockwell Trail (Sandy Railtrail). The station has a free Park and Ride lot.^{[Note 1]} A unique feature of the station is signage that shows currently available parking spaces in the Park and Ride lot at this station, as well as at the two stations further south (Kimballs Lane and Draper Town Center). The station opened 18 August 2013 as part of the Draper extension of the Blue Line and is operated by 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.^[6] Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platform and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding on Blue Line (weekdays only). These ramps are not used on weekends. 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".^[7]
