At a Central Mesa Milestone Event this morning, it was announced that the light rail trains will begin running into Downtown Mesa on August 22nd, 2015.
The long anticipated Mesa light rail extension into this area is an exciting accomplishment for transit fans. Heck, we know that Downtown Mesa is SUPER excited about the future with trains bringing so much positive growth to the area. Testing of the light rail trains will continue until August so people are asked and advised to PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Seriously, you should check out what is happening in Downtown Mesa. We LOVE it!
There was an awesome turn out for the celebration this morning from the media, the business community and many residents.
