Public meeting to review recommendations for West Valley light rail connection

In particular, feedback needed on downtown route to meet I-10 freeway

PHOENIX, AZ — After several years of study and community feedback, METRO has reached recommendations for the route and transit mode for the Phoenix West high-capacity transit extension.  METRO welcomes the community to review study recommendations and provide, in particular, feedback on the route that could take light rail from downtown Phoenix, through the State Capitol area to eventually connect with the I-10 West freeway.

Thursday, May 3, 2012

6 – 8 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.)

St. Matthew Catholic Church and School

320 N. 20th Dr., Phoenix

The Phoenix West study was initiated in 2007 and has evaluated a range of alternatives to provide enhanced transit service to the West Valley.  In 2008, light rail was approved in the I-10 West freeway corridor.  Further evaluation was conducted to determine where in the freeway corridor and how does the service then connect to the existing light rail line.  The recommendations being presented perform the highest in such categories as improving regional mobility, supporting local neighborhoods and stimulating economic development.

For additional information or to make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities at this meeting, please contact Alex Albert at (602) 980-0913/TTY (602) 251-2039 or aalbert@metrolightrail.org.
