Agreed. Light rail may be a better option because it's much longer than most TRAX lines. However, from what I've read there is a lot of public opposition to the line as-is, so it seems highly unlikely to me that the public would support light rail. On the other hand, many people opposed TRAX at first, but upon seeing how successful it was, cities in the valley became eager to become connected.

A streetcar is probably the best option though. It's safer for pedestrians, takes up less space, costs less, and stops more frequently. Streetcars are also quieter and therefore less disruptive in residential areas than light rail or even buses.

Either way, I hope to see Davis County, as well as Salt Lake and Utah counties become more rail-oriented in the near future.
