Phoenix leaders on Tuesday announced they have formed a citizen committee to draft light-rail expansions and street and bus improvements so they can bring it to voters next year, reports The Arizona Republic’s Caitlan McGLade.
Mayor Greg Stanton wants to triple Metro Phoenix light rail’s mileage over the next 30 years. He said the economy is improving, and there is going to be more congestion as the city grows.
Mary Peters, a former U.S. secretary of transportation, will chair the committee, composed of former council members, business leaders and other residents.
