Mesa’s new 2040 General Plan, on the November ballot, says transformation is imminent. We offer a peek at what Mesa could look like if that transformation comes to pass.
Look no further than Main Street, Southern Avenue or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport to see that pieces of Mesa’s future are already here.

On Southern, a streetscape project that will reduce the number of lanes again marks a shift away from car-centric travel.
