The city of Mesa is betting big on its Main Street and downtown areas. Metro light rail is being extended from Mesa Drive and Pioneer Park down to Gilbert Road.
The city also plans to bring in new developments and adaptive-reuse projects. As part of that, Mesa is embarking on a $7.6 million renovation of Pioneer Park, right next to the Metro light rail and across from the Mesa Arizona Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
