Valley Metro and city officials continue to hear pros and cons from the public on a possible extension of light-rail service into the downtown area.
During a meeting with constituents Aug. 27, at IronwoodHigh School, Sahuaro District City Councilman Gary Sherwood said the regional public transit agency and city leaders continue to weigh the idea, seen by proponents as a means of expanding mobility throughout the Valley while spurring economic development. Extending the system into downtown Glendale would impact traffic, but it also is seen as a way to inject new life into the shops and businesses, including a number of antiques stores, that call the area home.
