Shortly after taking office, Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega introduced two proposals to preserve – and potentially expand – public open space downtown used for popular events like Canal Convergence.
At City Council’s first meeting of the year, he asked his colleagues to consider preserving strips of city-owned alleys along the Arizona Canal downtown rather than allow them to be sold to private developers.
He said the land could be used as additional space for Canal Convergence and other popular downtown events.
