They will shape how we travel by planes, trains and automobiles.
They will affect how quickly police and firefighters can respond when we need help.
They will enliven our leisure hours, giving us a new place to watch ballgames, a new ambience for Fiesta-District shopping and a vastly made-over city park.
And they will enrich the college experience for students at the Polytechnic campus of Arizona State University and at Mesa Community College.
