NO? How about serving on the local zoning board for 8 yrs???
Should the US taxpayers pay for one billion dollar trolley service or trolley service for every city that wants it??
In operation since the tail end of 2008, the 26-mile Valley Metro Light Rail stretches from 19th Ave. and Dunlap Ave. in upper-central Phoenix to downtown Mesa and offers quick access to downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor International Airport, Arizona State University, Mill Avenue in Tempe and plenty more along the way.
The line takes around 85 minutes to ride from end to end, 30 minutes to arrive in downtown Phoenix from Dunlap, and 40 minutes to arrive in downtown Phoenix from downtown Mesa.
Park & Ride and stations were required to be built along the line.
In 2000, Phoenix voters approved a 0.4 percent sales tax to fund light rail and other public transportation projects.
Four years later, Maricopa County voters extended a countywide half-cent transportation tax, about a third of which has gone toward light rail and other public transportation projects.
With Phoenix and Tempe on board, Mesa had to decide whether it would fund the end of the line to the East.
