In a perfect world, a north running streetcar would run along 700 East to bridge the divide along that hideously wide pedestrian wasteland... but I doubt UDOT will ever allow that.

I think that street car and vehicles can co-exist in this area. Put the street car line next to the medians and keep the street side parking. I think 7th is way to big, busy and fast for street car. The point of the street cars, IMO, is to provide easy on, easy off access to local ammenities. The medians could be a great place for people to wait for the street cars. and like you said, I'm not sure UDOT would ever allow street cars on 7th, they did already reduce it a lane, back to three.
