Public Safety Improvements Update - Citywide

On September 24, 2024, the Mayor and City Council approved a series of
recommendations and actions to improve public safety. The Council-approved actions
included efforts to address homelessness, enhancements to the Community
Assistance Program (CAP), recommendations related to Office of Accountability and
Transparency (OAT), and other measures for the Phoenix Police Department. This
report provides updates since the last meeting held on September 9, 2025.

THIS ITEM IS FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION.

Summary
Police Department Update
The Department's core values and guiding principles were briefly discussed at the
September 9, 2025, Policy update. LEAD is the acronym for the Police Department's
guiding principles, which has been used to create ongoing goals for the Police
Department.

L - Lead at Every Level
· These goals will focus on training and leadership development for all Department
staff, ensuring professionalism, ethical conduct and procedural justice throughout
the organization and community.

E - Engagement with Employees and the Community
· The goals for this principle will foster open communication and transparency to
improve service delivery internally and externally, as well as build and strengthen
partnerships with community members, local organizations and stakeholders.

A - Accountability at All Levels
· For this principle, the goals will focus on establishing measurable benchmarks for
performance and transparency, as well as accountability mechanisms and
implementing a compliance framework for all new policies and procedures.

D - Dedication to Our Mission
· This principle's goals will show the Department's dedication to protecting life and


property while preventing and reducing crime, as well as seeking justice for crime
victims all while performing at the highest standards of conduct and integrity.

The Department is working to construct a Strategic Plan, built around Continuous
Improvement, Community Engagement, Business Operations and Crime Reduction
with L.E.A.D with P.R.I.D.E guiding principles at its core. The Plan will be a series of
measurable deliverables which will be evaluated and reported annually.

Technology Updates:
· Records Management System (RMS): The Department previously shared the
launch of the new Records Management System on September 9, 2025. Since
then, staff has been completing all required Go-Live activities, including migrating
data from previous systems, finalizing the test environment, and ensuring full
functionality. Staff is now nearing the completion of these IT-related tasks. Moving
forward, the focus will shift to system optimization and version upgrades to improve
performance and introduce additional functionality. A key component of the new
RMS has been achieving certification for NIBRS - the National Incident-Based
Reporting System - under the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program. This
certification provides a more detailed and accurate approach to crime data
collection and allows both the Department and community to better understand
crime trends and develop effective prevention strategies.

· Real-Time Customer Engagement Tool: Police staff implemented the Versaterm’s
CommunityConnect platform, which is an innovative public safety engagement
solution designed to enhance trust and transparency between the Department and
the community. CommunityConnect automatically sends updates to 9-1-1 callers,
crime victims, and reporting parties using information from the Department's
dispatch and records systems. It provides real-time notifications, multilingual
messaging, feedback tools, and extended support for victims. This means people
get timely updates, greater certainty, and enhanced transparency about their cases.

· Community Survey Technology: ZenCity Blockwise is a continuous, representative
survey platform that measures residents’ perceptions of safety, fairness, respect,
and voice in their interactions with local police. Using an “always-on” approach,
Blockwise delivers real-time, neighborhood-level insights through digital surveys
distributed via targeted ads based on U.S. Census data. The platform offers
customizable feedback cycles, digital distribution with representative sampling, rich
data collection, and interactive dashboards and analytics. These features provide
ongoing, actionable insights into community sentiment, enable targeted
interventions so resources align with public priorities, and enhance transparency



and trust through data-driven engagement.

On September 24, 2024, City Council approved 37 action items for the improvement of
Public Safety Services to the citizens of Phoenix and the Department has provided
quarterly updates on its progress related to these action items. Following the
Department’s last updated report on September 9, 2025, 29 of the 37 items are now
complete with 9 of those items containing ongoing components, and eight items are
still in progress. Information on the new updates since the last report can be found
below. A summary of all recommendations and directives can be found in Attachment
A.

Recent Updates

· Compliment and Complaint Hotline and Portal: In November 2025, the
Organizational Integrity Bureau, in partnership with Office of Accountability and
Transparency, has successfully completed the implementation of the online
Compliments and Complaints Public Portal website and hotline. The community can
now report compliments and complaints online, by phone, or in person. Phone and
in-person complaints can be received by the Office of Accountability and
Transparency or Professional Standards Bureau. As always, urgent complaints are
addressed with immediacy. This item has an ongoing component of annual
reporting to the City Council and the Civilian Review Board.

· In December, the Department implemented the First Amendment Activity Support
and Management policy which clearly details what the community can expect from
the Department in terms of their safety and their right to peacefully assemble when
exercising their first amendment rights.

· Changes are being made to the Less Lethal Tool policies and a public comment
period was held in October to gain community feedback. The revised policies
should launch in February 2026.

· Youth Interactions Policy is a new policy for the Department and was drafted after
heavy engagement with City of Phoenix youth and was made available for public
comment for 30 days. The focus of the policy is to recognize youth development
and to communicate with youth accordingly. The target go-live is April 2026.

· Interactions with Individuals Experiencing Homelessness is also a new policy for the
Department and was drafted in partnership with the Office of Homeless Solutions. It



was also made available for public comment for 30 days. This policy emphasizes
offering services and managing the property of individuals experiencing
homelessness. The target go-live is April 2026.

· The Training Academy’s annual in-service training series for all sworn employees
includes training topics such as cultural awareness and customer service. Training
updates have also been made to recruit training to include cultural awareness,
ethics and professionalism, and active bystandership. In addition to specific training
courses, the Department has paid particular attention to developing and evolving
the method of training delivery for both Basic Training and Post-Critical Incident
Training.

· The Department has recently launched the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Incentive
Pilot Program. The incentive program is intended to increase the Department’s
ability to respond to CIT related calls for service and is focused on training
additional officers to become CIT certified and ensuring those officers already
certified are trained in recent developments in the field of crisis intervention.

· People calling 911 in Phoenix now have a new option during the initial call intake.
Starting Monday, December 15, 2025, 911 operators on both emergency and non-
emergency lines ask callers during the call, “Do you need police, fire or behavioral
health?” This addition comes after the Phoenix City Council unanimously adopted a
series of measures aimed at modernizing public safety services and expanding
community-focused support. The goal is to ensure the right help is sent to the right
calls, reducing unnecessary police responses while providing faster, more
specialized support for behavioral health-related emergencies.

Community Assistance Program Update
The Community Assistance Program (CAP) has experienced significant growth in calls
transferred from Police Communications to Behavioral Health Dispatchers since
September 2025. On December 15, 2025, Police Communications implemented a
critical update to the 9-1-1 caller screening process by asking whether the caller
requires police, fire, or behavioral health services. This change resulted in a
substantial increase in call transfers and a higher percentage of cases where
Behavioral Health Units (BHU) were the sole responding unit.

Year-over-year comparisons highlight this growth. From 2024 to 2025, calls transferred
from Police to CAP increased by 128 percent. Across the same time frame, BHU calls
for service also increased by 96 percent.




This trend underscores the growing demand for behavioral health crisis response and
the effectiveness of enhanced call triage in connecting individuals to the appropriate
resources.

Office of Accountability and Transparency Update
Phoenix City Code, Chapter 20, as amended by City Council on May 15, 2024,
requires the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) to:
· Take community complaints or commendations.
· Establish procedures for receiving anonymous complaints.
· Conduct outreach with the community.
· Provide support services to impacted community members.
· Review Police Department administrative investigations or civilian employee
complaints.
· Make recommendations to the Police Chief regarding policy, rules, and training
issues.
· Conduct mediation to resolve disputes.
· Administer a youth outreach program.
· Address other issues of concern to the community.

Since February 2024, OAT has released 41 reports detailing its review of Police
Department administrative investigations and its findings as to the completeness and
thoroughness of those reviewed investigations. OAT issued 25 individual
recommendations for future investigations, the majority of which the Department has
agreed to implement. OAT is actively reviewing 159 cases.

OAT’s Community Engagement Team has worked diligently to connect with community
and expand OAT’s reach. With support from all OAT staff, this three-person team has
tabled, attended, or connected with more than 100 community agencies or groups and
more than 16,000 community members since OAT began tracking in July 2024.

In addition to these engagement efforts, the team launched and completed the first run
of OAT’s youth outreach program pilot, Reform Rising. The team will evaluate what
they learned this semester and pilot again in the spring before scaling up to additional
Phoenix high schools in Fall 2026.

OAT’s Mediation Director has completed seven department level mediations since
February 2024. The Mediation Director has worked diligently and in collaboration with
the Police Department to build the processes, procedures, and parameters for
individual officer-community member mediation which OAT hopes to launch in
February.



OAT administers the City Council established Civilian Review Board (CRB). Since
September 2025, the Board has held five formal business meetings and has adopted
all OAT findings and recommendations without revision.

To support services to impacted community members, OAT has initiated a partnership
with the Family Advocacy Center’s (FAC) Family Liaisons who are dedicated to helping
community members impacted by critical incidents. Through this partnership OAT and
the FAC’s team will work together to reinforce the need for timely, transparent, and
communication and information sharing with community members involved in critical
incidents.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
These recommendations have been previously discussed at City Council Policy
Sessions held on September 24, 2024, April 15, 2025, and September 9, 2025. To

Report

Capitol Extension and I-10 West Light Rail Project Update and Options - Districts
4, 5, and 7

This report provides an update to the City Council on the Capitol Light Rail Extension
(CAPEX) and I-10 West Light Rail Extension (10WEST) projects and requests the City
Council to either select a new CAPEX Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) route (
Option 1) or re-evaluate other high-capacity transit alternatives to serve West Phoenix
(Option 2). The CAPEX project is currently in the Federal Transit Administration’s
(FTA) Capital Investment Grant (CIG) program to qualify and compete for discretionary
funding. The deadline for the first phase of the CIG process, known as Project
Development, is April 2026 and requires a policy decision by City Council to move
forward.

THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION.

Summary
The CAPEX and 10WEST light rail extensions were included in the Transportation
2050 (T2050) investment plan approved by the City of Phoenix voters in 2015 and
were originally envisioned as one project. In 2016, the single project was separated
into two phases to accommodate reprioritization of other light rail project investments.
The CAPEX project is designed to extend light rail service from downtown Phoenix to
the State Capitol Mall, with a future phase planned to connect to I-10 West and to the
Desert Sky Transit Center at 79th Avenue and Thomas Road.

In 2019, the City Council instructed staff to perform a re-evaluation of the CAPEX and
10WEST projects, both from a technical perspective and to seek further community
feedback. The technical analysis and public input at that time both supported light rail
as the preferred transit mode for this corridor, citing higher ridership potential,
operating cost efficiencies, increased capacity and strong public support.

In 2021, the City Council approved the current LPA for CAPEX, which was a single-
track loop configuration from 3rd Avenue to 19th Avenue along both Washington Street
and Jefferson Street (also called the 19th Ave Loop). However, when the State
Legislature negotiated Proposition 479 in 2023, Senate Bill 1102 was passed into law,
which prohibits light rail within 50 yards of the Capitol complex, specifically the area



with a boundary of 17th Avenue on the East, Adams Street on the North, 18th Avenue
on the West and Jefferson Street on the South. This legislative action eliminated the
ability to implement the previously adopted CAPEX LPA or 19th Ave Loop. As a result,
Valley Metro and City of Phoenix initiated an effort to re-design the route and
requested a one-year extension from the FTA to remain in Project Development,
allowing time for the City to consider alternative routes. The FTA granted a one-year
extension, effective April 2025, which is set to expire in April 2026.

Over the past two years, City staff, Mayor and Council, and Valley Metro have
engaged stakeholders, state and county agencies and the community in the redesign
process to ensure their feedback is considered ahead of decision making. Initial route
options focused on alignments that utilized 15th Avenue North or 19th Avenue North
as connection points between CAPEX and 10WEST. Both connection options were
deemed non-viable due to significant stakeholder opposition and high project risk
considerations. Stakeholder and public outreach efforts have revealed concerns
particularly related to:
· 15th Avenue: Concerns included property acquisition/condemnation (five homes
impacted), bisection of a historic neighborhood, utility relocation, and impact on the
Arizona Supreme Court fiber network.
· 19th Avenue: Concerns included impacts to businesses, legislative
relations/accessibility to Capitol buildings, existing traffic congestion, and proximity
to freight rail.

Given this feedback, in August 2025, Valley Metro and City staff began to identify three
different CAPEX route options, that connected with 10WEST, for community and City
Council consideration (Option 1). Additionally, a new option was suggested to re-
evaluate high-capacity transit alternatives that may be more economical and efficient
to provide transit service to West Phoenix (Option 2). This report discusses both
options for consideration.

Options for Consideration
This report includes three CAPEX LPA route options for consideration (Option 1). City
staff and Valley Metro considered alternatives based on stakeholder feedback,
technical analysis, and financial forecasting. Three CAPEX route options emerged,
each of them utilizing a double track on Jefferson Street to address cost and
stakeholder concerns. The technical analysis used to identify the three route options
were based on rating criteria including engineering, construction, project cost, and
timeline. These route options include 16th Avenue North, 16th Avenue South, and 7th
Avenue North (Attachment A).




The three CAPEX light rail route options each have a projected number of daily trips
ranging from 2,300 to 2,400 based on the FTA Simplified Trips-on-Project Software
(STOPS) Model used by Valley Metro. According to the Community and Economic
Development Department, the routes display potential for job creation in the range of
10,800 to 14,700 and economic development in the range of $3.2 billion to $4.3 billion
(Attachment A).

The new potential 16th Avenue North and 16th Avenue South route options generally
scored better than the 7th Avenue North route option on project execution
(engineering, operations, cost and project timeline). These 16th Avenue options allow
for continuation in the FTA CIG Project Development phase and assume FTA
concurrence with the required environmental evaluation or NEPA (National
Environmental Policy Act). However, the 7th Avenue North option received the worst
rating for having the longest or most challenging timeline because this route would
require a pause in FTA Project Development and an entirely new NEPA process, which
would delay the project. Attachment B provides the estimated project timeline for
each of the options.

Each of the options includes specific underlying assumptions that have been
integrated into the attached project timeline (Attachment B). Furthermore, a series of
required next steps have been identified for each route option if approved by City
Council. These options exhibit varying levels of implementation requirements
necessary to proceed. The next major steps for each route option are provided below
and are not all inclusive.

16th Avenue North and South Options
· State law (ARS 41-791.02 Section K) requires: “Before entering into any contract or
agreement with a city or regional public transportation authority regarding the
placement of a light rail station in the governmental mall, the director shall submit
the contract or agreement to the joint legislative budget committee for approval. The
committee shall approve or reject the contract or agreement not more than one
hundred twenty days after the submission.”
· FTA concurrence on environmental re-evaluation for NEPA.
· 16th Avenue North option would require approval to purchase two State owned
buildings from the Arizona Department of Administration.
· Valley Metro Board and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG)
Transportation Policy Committee (TPC) approval of the new LPA route no later than
March 2026.

7th Avenue North Option



· Valley Metro Board and MAG TPC approval of the 7th Avenue LPA route.
· Pause current FTA Project Development process and initiate a new NEPA
evaluation.

Financial Considerations
Financial modeling demonstrates all proposed CAPEX route alternatives could be
viable under current federal funding assumptions, provided the project remains eligible
to receive federal CIG funding. The FTA CIG Program is a competitive design and
construction grant program. Projects are evaluated on defined justification criteria and
local funding commitment; a City Council approved LPA is required to enter the next
step of the CIG program, called the Engineering phase.

The FTA Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Annual Report on funding recommendations to
Congress rated the CAPEX project with an overall project rating of “Medium-High”.
Projects need at least a Medium to receive funding recommendations to advance to a
full funding grant agreement (FFGA). It is important to note that while the CAPEX
project is currently in the FTA CIG Project Development phase, federal funding is not
guaranteed and has not been awarded or appropriated by Congress. The CAPEX
project would be re-rated prior to entering a FFGA.

The total estimated costs and funding sources for the CAPEX route alternatives are
provided in Attachment C. Cost estimates provided are based on assumptions,
including T2050 cash flow modeling that assumes continued sales tax growth and that
FTA CIG funding is awarded by Congress. If any of the assumptions used were to
change or not be realized, project viability may be at risk. Estimated project costs for
each CAPEX route option range between $608 million to $648 million, with federal,
regional, and local sources identified. Project cost estimates for the 10West project are
also provided in Attachment C and are subject to change.

Over the last few years, scrutiny about the CAPEX project has intensified. Some of the
most frequently cited concerns include cost per mile, ridership potential, business and
neighborhood disruption and/or displacement, and stakeholder uncertainty, particularly
with the State of Arizona. Construction costs (labor and materials) have dramatically
increased in recent years, in metro Phoenix and nationally. This is particularly evident
in the cost per mile. The last two light rail extensions in Phoenix (Northwest Extension
Phase II and South Central Extension/Downtown Hub) had an average cost of
approximately $250M per mile whereas the three CAPEX route options (16th Avenue
North, 16th Avenue South, and 7th Avenue North) are estimated to cost approximately
$468M - $498M per mile depending on which option is selected. The construction
industry has seen steep inflation during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.



Maricopa County’s construction price growth has outpaced national averages, being
one of the fastest growing regions in the nation. Valley Metro and City of Phoenix are
evaluating new and different ways to contain costs and be innovative with materials,
contracting methods, and acceleration opportunities.

Due to the identified CAPEX challenges, it was suggested by the City Manager that if
the City Council decide not to identify a new CAPEX LPA route an option could be to
work with partner agencies including Valley Metro, Arizona Department of
Transportation, and MAG to re-evaluate other economical and effective high-capacity
transit alternatives to provide service to West Phoenix (Option 2). This option would
require notification to the FTA to formally exit CIG Project Development.

If Option 2 is chosen, staff request specific direction from City Council on what high
capacity transit alternative(s) to evaluate and would work with partner agencies to
develop a comprehensive re-evaluation work plan that incorporates the following
steps:

· Develop a scope for re-evaluation of high-capacity transit investment options to
provide transit services to West Phoenix.
· Develop a preliminary timeline and associated estimated cost, which may require
execution of a new funding agreement.
· Coordinate with the FTA and regional partners as necessary to evaluate options
and funding opportunities.
· Community and stakeholder engagement on the implementation plan.

Policy Direction
City staff and Valley Metro request policy direction and action to either adopt Option 1
or Option 2 ahead of the FTA CIG Project Development extension expiration in April
2026. A summary of each option with pros and cons is provided below.

Option 1: Select a new CAPEX LPA light rail route (16th Avenue North, 16th Avenue
South, or 7th Avenue North)

Pros
· Maintains progress in federal funding process and planned Revenue Service Date.
· Serves as first phase of a light rail extension to West Phoenix, creating a funding
offset for the 10WEST project.
· Keeps the CAPEX project on track to utilize Prop 400 and T2050 funds as planned.
· Leverages existing analysis, outreach and procurements completed and/or
underway.



Cons
· Requires a definitive decision on alignment (e.g., 16th Avenue North, 16th Avenue
South, or 7th Avenue North) despite potential stakeholder concerns and/or project
challenges.
· The project could face a substantial risk if a NEPA extension is required or the
inability to complete the Federal CIG application process within the established time
frame.
· Utilizes a significant amount of T2050 funds that could be used on other high-
capacity transit projects.

Option 2: Consideration of other alternatives to provide high-capacity transit options to
West Phoenix with or without the CAPEX extension. This would happen outside of the
current federal funding timeline constraints. Formal communication will be required to
inform the FTA that the City intends to evaluate other alternatives.

Pros
· Provides additional time to evaluate and study alternatives without the immediate
pressure of the April 2026 FTA CIG Project Development deadline.
· Allows staff and partner agencies to vet alternatives and re-connect with the
community, potentially identifying other efficient high-capacity transit alternatives.

Cons
· Forfeits current eligibility for federal CIG funding, which is essential to the current
financial structure and stops project advancement.
· May delay providing high-capacity transit service to West Phoenix.
· Requires a major update and communication to all funding partners and community
stakeholders regarding project timelines and funding reallocation.

Community Outreach
Community and stakeholder input is essential to decision-making on either Option 1 or
Option 2. Valley Metro and staff have consistently conducted community engagement
to gather feedback throughout the CAPEX project development and preliminary design
stages. Building upon this foundation, a more focused outreach effort to inform
stakeholders and the community of the two options to be considered by City Council
commenced the week of November 10, 2025. Outreach and advertising have
consisted of in-person and virtual public meetings, also hosted by Council offices, pop-
up events at local business and community locations, canvassing, notification to
businesses and residents along the potential CAPEX routes, mailers, flyers, social
media posts, media engagement, and distribution of feedback forms asking for input


on the two options.

Below is the most recent update on community engagement (as of January 16, 2025).
A comprehensive stakeholder/community engagement summary is provided with
Attachment D and includes appendixes with comments received from residents on
Option 1 and Option 2, letters submitted by the public to Valley Metro and City
Council, and feedback received from major stakeholders.

5,528 feedback forms received:
· 51% favor moving forward with CAPEX (Option 1).
· 49% favor re-evaluation (Option 2).

Outreach was conducted via the following methods:
· Nine public meetings with 300+ attendees.
· 10 tables at community events or local businesses.
· 75+ media stories in print and broadcast.
· 1:1 meetings with 21 major stakeholder groups.
· Email communication to 2,000+ subscribers.
· Print flyer distribution to local neighborhood groups, events and at light rail
stations.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Citizens Transportation Commission (CTC) considered this item at the December
4, 2025, meeting and did not reach a majority vote on either Option 1 or Option 2,
and therefore no recommendation is moved forward for City Council consideration.
Attachment E includes the CTC December 4, 2025, summary meeting minutes on this
item for reference.

The Transportation, Infrastructure, and Planning (TIP) Subcommittee voted to
recommend Option 2 with direction for staff and Valley Metro to evaluate other route
options and project timelines including the existing City Council approved West
Phoenix LPA on Indian School Road. Attachment F includes the draft TIP December
17, 2025, summary meeting minutes on this item for reference.

West Phoenix High Capacity Transit Alternative Analysis
In 2021, City Council approved moving forward with a West Phoenix High-Capacity
Transit Alternatives Analysis study (West Phoenix HCT AA). The study was outlined in
the Maricopa Association of Government's (MAG) approved MOMENTUM 2050
Regional Transportation Plan. The study was designed to evaluate and identify optimal
high-capacity transit improvements within the under served Maryvale area. Goals of


the study included improving transit access and connectivity in the study area to
surrounding employment and activity centers and regional destinations, address the
projected growth in population and employment demands in the area to provide
efficient and effective transit services and support future growth consistent with local
economic and community development priorities and goals. The analysis was
geographically defined by Camelback Road to the North, McDowell Road to the South,
Central Avenue to the East, and 99th Avenue to the West illustrated with Attachment
G. The study examined different HCT modes, specifically light rail and bus rapid
transit, and different routes within the study area boundaries.

To identify the most desired HCT improvements for the West Phoenix AA project study
area, Valley Metro developed a two-tier evaluation process. The Tier I and II analysis
evaluated 14 possible corridor options in the study area and used quantitative criteria
to compare operating modes for light rail and bus rapid transit. Each alternative and
mode were scored based on twenty-three criteria categorized by: mobility
improvements, access, potential impacts, land use/economic development, cost and
efficiency. The technical analysis revealed light rail as the highest scoring mode and
Indian School Road as the route with two connection options to the existing light rail
system: one starting from Central Avenue/Indian School Road and the other starting
from 19th Avenue/Camelback Road. Community input played a crucial role in the
evaluation process, ensuring that the final recommended alternative reflects
community desires as the project advanced toward a City Council approved LPA.

The technical analysis also revealed this option outperformed the other options
evaluated in the following aspects:
· It was projected to generate the highest number of daily trips, especially transit
dependent trips.
· It had the fastest transit travel time to key activity centers.
· It had the best access to nearby resources and opportunities, including affordable
housing units, bikeways, and activity centers.
· It has fewer potential impacts on existing infrastructure and buildings, impacting
fewer parcels, buildings, and square footage of parcel portions.
· It also had the highest crash-reduction potential, indicating a higher safety level.

The City Council adopted the West Phoenix LPA (Attachment G) in May 2024 and it
was approved by the Valley Metro Board in June 2024. The current T2050 program
includes this light rail project to begin in 2031 with an estimated revenue service date
of 2042 (11 years). Future steps for the project include conducting additional
community and stakeholder engagement to refine the LPA to select a preferred
connection to the existing light rail system. Once this selection is made, the next steps



would include amending the LPA to reflect the desired connection point, a new funding
agreement to proceed with the project, coordination with MAG on reprogramming the
timing and funding for the project, right of way and land acquisition assessments,
preliminary engineering including station locations and a refined operating plan.

Extensive community outreach would occur to ensure residents and businesses along
the LPA route impacted by the project are informed and can provide feedback. A
detailed timeline has yet to be determined for any of the next steps previously
mentioned. Attachment H provides a high level preliminary schedule for the City
Council adopted West Phoenix LPA light rail extension developed by Valley Metro
based on direction received by the TIP Subcommittee on December 17, 2025.
Schedule durations are estimates based on previous project experience and are
subject to change based on numerous factors including federal review timelines,
federal government shutdowns, supply chain conditions, political developments, and
legal challenges. Developing a definitive timeline will require a comprehensive
evaluation of funding sources, environmental factors, and detailed project analysis.
Additional time will also be required to develop project cost estimates, funding
requirements and fiscal capacity analysis of the T2050 program.

Subject to the next steps previously outlined, it is essential to also consider upcoming
City projects within this corridor if Option 2 were selected by City Council and the
West Phoenix LPA were to be advanced earlier in the program. Maintaining rigorous
coordination across planned projects along the LPA route is critical to ensure a
comprehensive understanding of their collective impacts on the area. Specifically, the
Streets Department Road Safety Action Plan, ReVISIONing Indian School Road
project should be considered.

Road Safety Action Plan, Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) - ReVISIONing
Indian School Road: 91st Avenue to 39th Avenue.
The proposed project will implement targeted and proven safety countermeasures
designed to address safety issues involving pedestrians, bicyclists, people taking
transit and drivers on the corridor of Indian School Road from 91st Avenue to 39th
Avenue. The safety improvements include new pedestrian High-Intensity Activated
Crosswalk (HAWK) crossings, existing traffic signal modernizations, intersection
upgrades, updating curb ramps and driveways to American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
standards, improved connections to transit, street lighting, landscaping and raised
medians where appropriate.

The design phase began in August 2025 and is expected to be complete by summer of
2027. The design phase will include the completion of a design concept report and
final design services. During this phase public engagement, environmental planning,
utility coordination and right-of-way coordination
will all take place. Final design and

utility coordination and right-of-way coordination will all take place. Final design and
construction of the project will occur through a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
project delivery.

The City applied for and received a SS4A grant through the US Department of
Transportation. The current programmed amount for construction costs is $31.1
million, with $24.9 million in federal funds and a local match of $6.2 million. Grant
funding will be used for the construction phase, a grant agreement will be executed
between the City and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) prior to the start of
construction in late 2027. The period of performance will begin with the execution of
this agreement for a period of three years. The City can request to amend the
agreement to extend the performance period up to two additional years for a total of
five years. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2028 and is estimated to be complete
in 3 years. Following completion of construction, the City is required to provide
performance metrics for a period of three years.

If Option 2 is approved by City Council and the West Phoenix LPA light rail route is
advanced in the T2050 program staff will need to evaluate how the SS4A
ReVISIONing Indian School Road project will move forward and what elements of the
project would need to be modified and/or incorporated into the light rail project.

Request for Action
Staff respectfully request the City Council to either select a new CAPEX LPA light rail
route and continue within the FTA’s CIG Project Development program (Option 1) or
re-evaluate other high-capacity transit alternatives to serve West Phoenix, which may
include advancement of the existing City Council adopted West Phoenix LPA light rail
extension (Option 2).

Attachment D - Stakeholder Engagement Summary




FALL 2025 - WINTER 2026




Attachment D - Stakeholder Engagement Summary

Background
The Capitol Extension (CAPEX) is a high-capacity transit project to extend light rail from downtown
Phoenix through the Capitol Mall corridor. CAPEX is planned to eventually connect with the I-10
West Extension (10WEST) and is a critical step in extending light rail into west Phoenix.

Over the past two years, City of Phoenix and Valley Metro have engaged stakeholders, partner
agencies, and the community to inform the light rail design process. Initial route options using
15th Avenue North or 19th Avenue North to connect CAPEX and 10WEST were ultimately deemed
non-viable due to strong stakeholder opposition and high project risk. Concerns included property
impacts, neighborhood disruption along 15th Avenue, and business, traffic congestion, and access
impacts along 19th Avenue. Based on this feedback, Valley Metro and City staff developed three
alternative CAPEX route options: 16th Ave North, 16th Ave South and 7th Ave. Additionally, a new
option was suggested to re-evaluate high-capacity transit alternatives to serve west Phoenix, with or
without the Capitol Extension. Phoenix City Council will decide how the project will proceed in late
January 2026.


Outreach Summary
Valley Metro and City of Phoenix conducted virtual and in-person outreach from November 2025 –
January 2026, with special emphasis in council districts 4, 5 and 7, where the CAPEX and 10WEST
extensions are planned to reach. Engagement emphasized the importance of public feedback to the
Phoenix City Council’s deliberation and decision-making process.

Accessibility is paramount in Valley Metro’s outreach efforts. Spanish-language materials and
interpretation was available at each engagement. Closed captioning was available during all virtual
meetings. The outreach team also created a narrated, captioned video presentation in English and
Spanish for anyone unable to attend an in-person or virtual meeting.

Respondent ID Do you have any other comments about transit in the Capitol District or west Phoenix?
119035638854 I like the idea of this project going down on Indian school Road
119038036852 I support the light rail going down to the West Valley
119005553046 Reduce the reckless drivers, pollution.
119028478660 (not legible)...Maryvale extension along Indian School Rd.
119038011408 Do not delay construction and forward movement on the above plan
119002416647 Excited for it to come!
119038012414 I live in litchfield park comma so if it went down further that would be great.
119038707416 I support the Indian school project for the Light rail
119038010672 Transit is necessary
118998930105 "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation." - Gustavo Petro
1. How does CAPEX plan on keeping environmental protection? 2. Economically speaking, in what ways does this extension plan on
helping local economies? Data? 3. With Waymo and self-driven cars, is there safety measures for traffic caused by the extension?

16 Ave North vs 7th Ave North, my preference this would ultimately depend on how delayed 7th Ave would be. I personally like having
the East and West tracks separated by some amount since it encourages additional development in the area between them.

119035405940 16th Ave is most preferred.
119004285041 16th Ave north seems to have the best flow and impact for this specific project. I think it would be incredibly wise to consider a future
northwest extension up Grand Ave to serve the Coliseum, downtown Glendale, downtown Peoria, and eventually Surprise. The 7th Ave
north option would create the beginning of a great hub to the NW Valley at 7th Ave and Grand. Personally I would love light rail
connectivity at 19th and Grand and to see a revitalization of the Fairgrounds. As downtown pushes its boundaries outward, that would
be a huge win for the community.
119034165662 16th Ave South (green line) is “Most Preferred”. Thank you!!!
118999631538 16th Ave South appears to have least impact to communities and businesses
16th Ave South seems like a horrible option and keeps the light rail disconnected from the grand avenue business district and the
neighborhoods north of the light rail. If the city council votes to reevaluate and postpone or cancel the capex light rail extension, that
would be a disservice to the local community and a slap in the face to all those who have spent their time attending public meetings
for YEARS to provide feedback and be a part of the process. Please don’t rip the rug out from under us.

119028383883 16th Ave. South
119002431027 16th Ave. South is preferred for me. It would serve the most ridership and is walking distance. It would closely serve the capital with the
restrictions in place by the state
1-yes I lived in South Central Phoenix over 11 years and we certainly have a drastic need for better transportation options in this area. I
would certainly like to see the Capital area connect I live in the vicinity of 15th avenue and buckeye and this would make my options
to attend various other events much more likely. Let's move forward guys!
119013699373 27th Ave needs a street car like Tempe to help 27 bus traffic and delays
119012753973 35 ave
119019590617 59av Norman
119038183521 5th largest city in America with No Light Rail system ??? Tucson to Flagstaff ? or even Los Vegas ? Or a 101 Loop commuter line ? In
10 yrs Interstate 17 will be a parking lot. Trillion Dollar Disaster waiting to happen.
119032013742 7th Ave is too busy to add light rail. It is the main route from I-10 to/from downtown from the west side. Thank you for removing 19th
Ave options.
119038163392 7th ave option better fits to serve businesses I frequent and would help revitalize Van Buren St. Overall I believe it serves more people
who regularly use light rail than going through the capital.
119038091376 7th Ave. North (purple line) is consistently congested. It would be better to take one of the other two routes; they have much less
traffic and wider lanes.
A good start but we need more! ValTrans! (Thank you for your efforts; I know it's a battle to get budget for anything except more lanes)
119020844988 A good transit system is a sign of a well developed city/society. We deserve safe and efficient transit
119037597796 A light rail on the west side would drastically help traffic on the 10.
119037627115 A light rail on the west side would drastically help traffic on the 10.
119037989880 A light rail should and would be great, if it went further West of Phoenix or further maybe down McDowell, Thomas, or Indian School
and another one north of Phoenix going west and more north to Lathem area. Just a thought because it runs later and the busses dont
run as late as the light rail does. People get stuck as far as the light rail goes.
119038387377 A light rail should go across baseline and a connecting rail should be on 19th ave or 51st ave
119005566011 A lot of businesses are suffering due to the delayed construction. I also feel that it just brings a lot of transient issues
119038018829 A lot of people would benefit from the light rail coming to the West valley
119036407620 A lot of work has gone into this.
118998022897 A revaluation ignores years of feedback and goes against the will of the voters. Phoenix City Council is wasting our time and money by
floating this option! I don't want bus or anything else!
119038029600 A waste of taxpayer and federal funds. Abandon the idea and the project. External forces are driving this project. Locals DO NOT
light rail.
119021635564 Abandoning this project would be an absolute tragedy.
119005541433 Access to work
119001559299 Add an extension north-south up scottsdale Rd or the 101! East valley needs more options.
119028359243 Add Maryvale extension
119032595926 Add more trains to the city, but try to make them more connected.
118997944479 Additional delays just prolong the project. Get it moving forward now.
119007593516 Advantage, options, faster
119034582502 Agree to a safe reliable transportation
119034317443 Agree to the project at Indian school rd
119034580998 Agreed to a good safe and secure transportation

119020661421 All options should be completed and more options for connecting the west side to all other areas should also be explored.
119002329866 Along the 16th Ave. S route would provide a nice view of Wesley Bolin park and the capitol complex
119005541472 Alternative transport
119034613717 Always advocate for public transportation
119036205236 Another great for transportation.
119037929959 any and all light rail extensions and projects should be improved, not delayed or cancelled!
119000391847 Any future talk to go west from Central on a east/west road like Thomas, Indian School etc
118999881075 Any improvement on traffic for all Citizens and beautifying our City State is Welcomed keep up the good job 👏👏👏👏
Any light rail along the I-10 corridor must include stops at 27th and 43rd Avenues. • 27th Avenue and McDowell is a major
employment center with two bus terminals and hotels. • 43rd Avenue and McDowell offers the only shopping opportunity along the
route besides 75th Avenue. The corner of 43rd and McDowell features: • Three Groceries including Fry's, Food City, and Smart & Final
• Numerous restaurants including Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway, Wingstop, and several several more independently owned restaurants and
chains. • Senior Living Facilities • Charter Schools • Hotels • Walgreens Pharmacy • Carpenters Training Center • Medical Facilities
and so many more businesses that it is impossible to name all of them them all here. In contrast 35th Avenue and McDowell Road
offers nothing of value besides Carl Hayden HS and 51st Avenue is nothing more than a hub for prostitution. Even Circle K closed one
of their busiest locations at 51st and McDowell due to the proliferation of crime due to lax enforcement. I'm always amazed how the
city of Phoenix chooses to move the prostitution and homeless problems from downtown and the Garfield areas, that few travelers
see, to the center main corridor for those traveling through and visiting Phoenix along I-17 and I-10. It's no surprise Phoenix has such a
poor impression around the country when all they see is crime and filthy streets. The I-10 expansion of the rail line, as proposed, serves
only those who commute from Avondale and the far west valley to downtown and fails to serve the residents of Phoenix. Thank you
for your time.

119038686486 Anywhere the light rail goes, crime follows. I live in West Phoenix and have no desire to have you make it easier for the homeless to get
to my neighborhood!!
119034369664 Apoyo Indian school rd
119034513812 Approve the plan that has already been approved and funded by taxpayers.
119026960906 As a local from west side we have been needing and wanting the expansion towards the west for so long. It’s needed especially now
with the increase of people moving from all other states to here. Public transport is a need.
As a nearby resident, I strongly support the CAPEX light rail extension. This project will provide a much-needed high-capacity transit
connection to the State Capitol, making it easier for community members, state employees, and visitors to access one of Arizona’s
most important civic centers without relying solely on cars. I also see this extension as a critical step toward bringing high-capacity
transit to the West Valley. By establishing this connection, Phoenix can create a stronger regional network that supports economic
growth, reduces congestion, and expands mobility options for residents across the Valley. Additionally, I encourage the Phoenix City
Council not to delay this project further. Timely action will ensure that the community can realize the benefits of this investment and
maintain momentum for broader regional transit improvements. Overall, I believe the CAPEX extension is a smart, forward-looking
investment that will improve accessibility, strengthen our transportation system, and benefit the surrounding neighborhood for decades
to come.

As a resident and property owner in the Triangle neighborhood just north of the Capitol I think it's extremely important that this project
continue forward in some fashion. I have ranked the routes, but would prefer any of these to re-evaluation. We have to be thinking of
PHX in the present as well as the future. Delaying this project and potentially losing Federal funding is does not seem like a wise choice
and feels like a waste of the considerable resources that have already been dedicated to it. Having transit alternatives to individual
vehicles is essential for the continued growth of downtown and the businesses there. It's unrealistic from both an ecological standpoint
and an economic one to think that cars are sufficient for a city as large as PHX with such a fast growing population. The light rail has
seen increased ridership over the past decade as more routes have been made available and there is no reason to think that would
not continue. PHX is a unique city due to its physical size and I know some residents can't see the value in the project, but as a
downtown resident it's extremely clear. Accessibility has helped the vitality of Downtown Phoenix as a community and I would like to
see the continue to evolve. People cannot choose to take a mode of transpiration that does not exist. For these reasons I hope the
Council will choose the most popular route from these three and keep the project moving forward. Thank you to everyone who has
been working on this and other parts of the light rail projects over the years. As a community member I appreciate the willingness to
engage with the public on these important questions.

119037750863 As a resident of Maryvale for over 30 years, the light rail is not a fit in our community. I notice people pushing for this, do not live,
resident, visit, shop or really commute here. Light rail would increase the drug dealers transient who take over our areas, including parks
and corners like 51st ave and indian school.
As a West Phoenix resident who loves visiting the downtown area I am so looking forward to having mass transit options from the side
of town to downtown!
119037854594 As long as security is good on light rail do Indian school
As someone who doesn't live in Phoenix but regularly uses light rail for concerts, games, and events, routes that strengthen the main
downtown spine and are easy for occasional riders to understand matter most. The 7th Ave North option best supports that kind of
regional and event-based ridership.
As someone who is at the legislature frequently, I'm unsure who is the intended rider - employees, visitors? I think the general public will
not ride unless security is on every train and platform. Very concerned about safety and rider experience vs the cost.

As the 5th largest city in the country, we are embarrassingly behind when it comes to our light rail system. We desperately need better
public transit and that starts by expanding the cities current system. The light rail is a quicker option, has a shorter wait times and has a
larger capacity than buses. We are incredibly far behind other major U.S. cities when it comes to this. Expanding not just to the west
valley but all over metro Phoenix will only benefit the citizens and tourists. Theres many people who work at or near the Capitol who
would absolutely love to be able to take the light rail to and from work. By not expanding our light rail system, we prevent the city
from major opportunities that will benefit its citizens and continue to limit the cities growth. Expanding the light rail will, in time, help
attract new businesses & jobs to the surround area. There’s no reason cities with a much smaller population than Phoenix should
have better train systems than us. We need to catch up.

119020677003 As the 5th largest city in ther country, our state capitol should be connected to the transit system! The I-10W Extension will help to
alleviate traffic on Interstate 10. We need more west high-capacity transit solutions! Do not throw away years of planning and
investment! Build the extension all the way to the amphitheater and Desert Sky Mall.
As the CEO of the Children's Museum of Phoenix, I feel very strongly that our city needs to continue to invest in high-capacity transit.
This impacts our 110 employees, over half of which live in the west valley and are very negatively impacted by the current traffic
congestion and lack of alternatives. Additionally, our Museum serves many families in the West Valley who visit the Museum and other
downtown amenities, and having high-capacity transit would be a great benefit to them. I am in strong support of the City investing in
this project and hope that City Council gets fully behind this and other high-capacity transit improvments.

At its core, trains make it possible to reduce traffic congestion and revitalize cities. In other words, they must support daily commuting
to work, access to airports, sporting events, and events held within the city. Reconsider freeway and rush-hour routes; implement
measures to ease truck routes. For example, when it comes to truck routes, congestion at SR-202 and I-10 (westbound), 67th Avenue
and 51st Avenue, Van Buren Street, as well as the intersection of I-10 and I-17 is severe on a daily basis. While the design of these
intersections is poor, congestion can still be alleviated through improved commuting solutions. Increase the number of stations
directly connected to destinations to improve convenience. This includes direct connections to bus terminals and areas with shopping
options such as malls and grocery stores. In countries like Japan, train stations always include bus terminals. Build large parking lots
and drop-off areas, and operate shuttle buses to business districts, warehouse areas, and offices. (This overlaps slightly with point 2.)
For example, if companies could receive city subsidies for operating shuttle buses between stations and their offices, a significant
number of users could be expected. Above all, to recover costs, the system must be something people actually use. Unlike Los
Angeles, San Francisco’s BART always provides parking facilities and bus stops. It is also directly connected to the airport, and stations
are generally located near places people actually want to go. In business districts, it supports not only commuting but also nighttime
outings, allowing people to travel and return home safely. By contrast, in Los Angeles, stations have often been built in areas people
do not want to visit, which is why high ridership cannot be expected.

119038195817 Big projects like this can often overrun budget and schedule estimates. I think it is importsnt to take advantage of the federal money by
proceeding with the updated CAPEX and I10 West projects. Furthermore, an expanded and reliable transit system allows for the
continued growth of this city as the population continues to grow.

119020703867 Build this extension. The money is there and neighborhoods need it!
119000815467 Building south is more convenient since it wont interfere with homes or businesses but yet will go through homless since the shelter at
230 n 12th ave that will ne need to be regulated
Bus service during rush hour should be more than every half hour on the North/South routes and if a bus breaks down during rush hour,
another bus should be dispatched to take over the route ASAP. The 19th Ave routes (North & South) just S of the I-17, goes west into
that industrial area to pick up ONE person who works for City of Phoenix. That "detour" takes 5 mins. I have to walk over 3/4 of a mile
to get to my stop but I don't work for the City of Phx so I'm not "special." If that person is gone then who finds out that service to that
area is no longer needed? And how many other stupid side trips do buses make? Who monitors this? If their drivers speak up - does
management listen?

119005442293 Bus stops need light and safety maintenance and checks regularly
119005395320 Buses are always late
Buses are not fixed to the tracks. In my opinion road's are better. Bathroom toilet is important to locate on public transportation.

Buses. Not the light rail. It ruined my neighborhood. We were never asked before it was built. Terrible city mgmt. now with all the apts
and all the low income housing in Northern east of the freeway - I want to say Thanks for making our city a ghetto. Put that in
Scottsdale. I’m tired of no one caring about my neighborhood. I can’t afford to move again. And I own my home outright. Do
better Phx. You have been a shame for at least 20 years.

119020800886 Buses. Fixed rail options are inflexible and uneconomic. 1800’s transportation.

119038345584 CAPEX needs to happen so that west Valley can get transit
118999364602 Capex should continue to connect to the Westside via light rail like the plan had before.

119021274363 Continue with this project, at all costs.
Continue with your progress as the Capitol area and West Phoenix need light rail as soon as possible. Additionally, you have been
studying this for over 20 years.
Continuing to expand public transit will only make alternative transportation options more viable and cost-effective. Car-only
infrastructure is costly to maintain, terrible for physical health, and frankly dangerous (Arizona has the second-highest pedestrian fatality
rate in the entire US). Continuing to invest in public transport is necessary for it to become a self-sustaining, safer, and cheaper
alternative to cars. There is a reason voters have consistently approved this for years; car alternatives are only becoming more
popular, and delaying it only goes against the interests of Phoenix's constituents. Please do not delay this project. Any of the options is
better than delaying and giving a soft rejection of the voter's will.
Continuing with the CapEx and 10W extensions is the only way to provide Capitol Mall, St. Matthew’s, Isaac, and Maryvale a
connection to light rail in the near future. This progress does not stop the City & Valley Metro from continuing their studies on
additional high-capacity option to serve West Phoenix. They should not ask the public to pick between the projects but instead
continue with the current progress, using that momentum to do more in the future.
119032687033 Contonue light rail to west valley to continue developing Phoenix
119013573412 Convenience needed in Maryvale, lacks better transport, busses full.

119014524840 Crossing 7th ave nearly killed me so i cant walk or bike accross it for my commute
Definitely use the tunnel system as a transit station all tha open space on the inside to allow people to use light rail on highways

Delay on this segment impacts the connection with the community west of downtown. The westside has the highest traffic volume
each day on I-10. High capacity transit options can provide relief and access to education and job opportunities across the valley

119020697880 Deliver on transit options for all!
119038084463 Deliver what voters have already approved. Do not kill CAPEX or you will loose voter trust and credibility.
119005539462 Different trnsportation
119037241558 Disrupt as many housing for the community and resources as possible. Blue route allows communities not to disturb and destroyed for
the extension
119003065365 Disruption of traffic flow during construction. More crime into these areas.
119038188400 Do as much grade separation as possible on the I-10 corridor. Speed is Key. Use south corridor to upzone.
119020732252 Do it and don’t find more excuses not to.
119000034081 DO IT!!!!
119020862386 Do NOT ‘re-evaluate’ AKA kill the project. Doing so is a waste of taxpayer dollars and a spit in the face to everyone who wants to see
Phoenix less car dependent.
119018066573 Do not bring light rail to west Phoenix continue with CAP-EX
119021397676 Do not bring light rail to west Phoenix continue with CAP-EX
119025418459 Do not build this light rail, all you're doing is wasting money and redistributing the homeless across the valley. Also I think you must be
brain dead for thinking putting a public light rail through 27th Ave and Indian school(the highest crime ridden area in phoenix) would
be a smart idea.
119005374472 Do not delay the project
119006080819 DO NOT RUN THE LIGHT RAIL ALONG THE I10. Run it along Indian school or McDowell where existing density exists. No one wants to walk
to the center of a freeway to access public transit.
119032069713 Do not run the Light Rail down West Indian School Road. Indian School Road is already a bloated mess with traffic backed up almost
constantly. Any Light Rail construction would make it so much worse.
119020773218 Do not under any circumstances cancel the light rail into west Phoenix

119037997936 Do not want light rail down Jackson - does not make any sense to go down Jackson.
119038694502 Do not want the light rail in the west valley
119020149105 Do people need to go to this area, as indicated on the map? When I heard west, i was thinking a light rail along indian school or
McDowell Road that ran all the way to the 101 or around the State Farm stadium
119020771701 Do something soon, people loose interest. Make the track elevated and faster down I10 or have some express options.
119021590052 Do what the people have asked for. That's why you're in office!
119037868057 Doesn't live here though it would be a great idea for students
Doesn't seem a connection to the State Capitol would get much volume and it is walking distance to downtown. Should serve higher
density population areas. Go to the Zoo, Botanical Gardens for tourists.
119038303626 Doing great job
119035501731 Don’t care but if it had to happen Indian School would be best to slow down traffic
119020766374 Don’t delay the project, west side needs a lightrail
119013605990 Don’t expand through Van Buren. It’s a high transit area and will affect the businesses negatively that are there.
119038027422 Don’t move west of the i17. We don’t want this!!
119033485113 Don’t use it but family does and they live by Indian school rd
119036245559 Don’t use it but think Indian school is better and more direct
119000552416 Don’t want light rail in West Phoenix. If you were trying to have light rail in Scottsdale or Fountain Hills it was rejected. We know why.
Why push this blight upon the people of AZ? This property value depressing transit system. It brings crime to your neighborhood. It also
feels unsafe on the trains. I want to choose neither of your options. But you rigged the survey. You will not allow it to be submitted
unless one agrees to one of your pro light rail options!
119013378728 Don't break your promise to the community for LIGHT RAIL.
119038010227 Don't stop working on this project
Dont throw away the light rail system! Many people depend on this, plus the local economy of downtown! This also affects
neighboring cities like Tempe and their progress. As more folks move here and to the burbs, they are also moving to our dense inner
cities and we need the infrastructure to support that!!!

Phoenix for many years and stakeholders have formalized their support dozens of times. Any decision to delay or reconsider the light
rail extension will mean the City Council cannot be trusted to keep their word.
Elevate the light rail in the median of I-10 from downtown Phoenix to Buckeye asap. Use design - build to expedite construction

119038123592 Elevated bike paths and gondola system are also great
118996441640 elevated is bestevated
119031910821 Elevated is the way to go! No more delays due to intersections, no more fatal accidents!

119001589068 Establishing the light rail to reach Glendale stadium would be an appealing, but daunting challenge. Consideration should commence
to determine how to best connect the existing light rail to Glendale Stadium as that would serve as the anchor to service the west
valley.
119037247544 Estaría chido por Indian School
119037222190 Estoy bien con el plan de traerlo a Maryvale por la Indian School
119038035993 Estoy bien con la Indian school
119033341261 Even though there may be a delay, I would highly recommend the light rail service go up 7th Ave, and reduce the risk for the Capital
Mall fiber for the State being put at risk as this serves communication (Data, Voice, Drivers License, License plates checks) for Police
departments throughout the State of Arizona. 1616th North/and 16th South impacts critical core fiber.
119037340262 Every other major city has a robust public transportation system except for us. This should be a source of embarrassment for the
country’s fifth largest metropolitan area.

119007249035 Everything good
119037990516 Excellent. Something that would be beneficial.
119017438545 Excited to see it built! Looking forward to having light rail in the area.
119037714238 Expand everywhere you can, we look like a city left behind in time with this tiny litttle light rail.
119006531824 Expand light rail.
119005391009 Expand on Broadway and 59th ave
119028344616 Expand the light rail to Maryvale through Indian School
119011926393 EXPAND TO STATE FARM STADIUM!!!!!!
118998757927 Expand to State Farm Stadium.
119020804153 Expanding public transportation is super important!! Please get this plan in motion!
119034576590 Expanding the light rail to the west valley would make public transit more accessible to a bigger population who is currently not in
access to the rail
119020709263 Expanding transit into west Phoenix is important for the future of public transit in all of Phoenix. Accessibility is necessary for the growing
population in Phoenix!
119038472583 Expansion to west Phoenix would greatly benefit residents and the local economy
119006591111 Extend for more towards Buckeye.
119038076208 Extend to Cardinals Stadium.
119038486329 Extend travel from Northern 59 Ave to 95th
119024668335 Extended to highway not within the streets
119028476919 Extending light
119036108066 Extending light rail to broader areas/communities in need, in the west will likely generate the highest ridership and improve equity. Has
ridership data been analyzed to confirm these priority areas?
118996409921 Extending the light rail west through the Capitol District is an important piece to connecting the West Valley to high capacity transit. This
project should move forward, and TOD should be encouraged on all of the empty lots and surface parking lots in the district. This
would help create a more accessible State Capitol that people actually want to visit.
119016457279 Extending transit services to west Phoenix is an absolute must! Our west valley residents deserve to have safe and accessible
multimodal transportation options, such as light rail, as much as the rest of the City.
Failure to move forward at this time would be detrimental to the valley. This is a commitment that has been selected by the general
population. Additionally, abandoning the current federal funding application would be detrimental to receiving any future funding.

119035590564 For it
For me personally I would like the 7th ave extension, but I believe that the 16th ave would benifit the most people in Phoenix. I will note
that I live in the FQ story neighborhood so I am very familiar with this area. Some additional things to think about: Moving up 7th
would likely provide a large boost to the grand ave business by increasing foot traffic, but I’m not sure that is worth the additional
schedule delay. That is why I ranked 16th higher. I do not see significant economic advantages to completing the south route.

119005539172 For people to use transit

Appendix A - Survey Comments

For the I-10 West expansion, I think it would be a great to not only extend it to 75th Ave as proposed, but also at least until 83rd Ave. I
know that 75th Ave is a high traffic and population area, and a lot of people live and work to the east of 75th Ave but a lot of people
also live to the west of that, so if they could cover just a bit more west of that, I think that would cover so many more people too. To
the north of 75th Ave and McDowell (75th Ave and I-10) there is a mall, many shopping plazas, stores, houses, parks and more; and
south of 75th Ave to atleast 83rd Ave there are many warehouses that employee lots of people. Therefore, I think it would be a great
idea to extend it just a bit more to allow these groups of people to also benefit from this project since this area is very populated and
there is lots of movement from people living, working, shopping and more. I personally work around 83rd Ave and Roosevelt (south of I-
10), and lots of others do too, and I think it would be helpful for many to have the option of the light rail in that area. I really appreciate
you taking the time to read my suggestion. If you would like to contact me my email is: (Personal Identifying Information Removed)
and my phone number is: (Personal Identifying Information Removed ). Thank you!

119037680749 For the light because it provides access to underserved communities.
119021521526 For the love of god build it and don't cancel it. We voted for transit initiatives, get them done. Unless you want traffic to become
Atlanta levels bad, we need public transit.
For us Seniors aging, it getting tougher to pay almost $100 dollars during peak time with rideshsre to get to and back the airport, bus
stations, DR’s appointments to see specialists. It limits our freedom to travel due to being in social security and fixed income.

119005541042 For work
119038022765 From Ajo AZ and Indian school is better for the community
119038019216 From Buckeye but come to Indian school
119038605658 From CA and light rail on Indian School would be great
119035551356 From Chicago and he buses are not as reliable here better in Indian school
119020780753 From east valley to west valley is a long distance, less cars on the roads makes most sense. I live in Tempe and use the light rail to go
downtown. I’m 70 years young but it’s so much less stressful.
From my understanding is that W Van Buren will be going under a possible change for express bus lane from 35th Ave to Central which
will be adding/removing lanes to accommodate the express bus lane on W Van Buren. The addition of light rail with bus lane is going
to be a traffic nightmare for residents in Oakland neighborhood. It’s best to go south and avoid the double project.

119038022097 From South Phoenix and Indian school would be great
119015531813 Full speed ahead for light rail expansion to the west - don't stop!
119029224980 Further delays in starting construction of the extension will increase the cost, delay completion and extend the bottleneck on I-10. The
extension should have been started and completed years ago.
119036246606 G6
119038555930 Gast reliable public transit is a great investment
119012797883 Get better transit west Phoenix
119007246409 Get better transportation for peak hours because they are always full.
118999595576 Get it done and stop the politics! (please)
119032115779 Get it done for the future of Phoenix
119014088192 Get it done, the west extension will be the most important dont delay this any further please! get it done, do it faster the traffic is a
nightmare
119038028153 Get moving. Feet have dragged far too long with this should we/shouldn't we. No one wants a bus. No one wants to use the bus. The
bus is unsafe and not police appropriately.
119001721171 Get the light rail and busses to show up on time before you build more failures!
119038107183 Get the light rail built across the valley it is sad how far the light rail is behind compared to other major cities. GET IT DONE!!!!
119037274779 Get the light rail to the west valley
119002403903 Get Valley Metro Done
119036487583 Getting too old to drive. Buses too infrequently.
119036328181 Glad it’s going this way. We need it!
119038706114 Go all the way to 99th Ave & McDowell along I-10 to the just past the 101 North
119005545988 Go to more job sites less traffic
119000629006 Go to westgate
119006666498 GO WEST
119023109891 Go west on Thomas or McDowell, not Indian School
119032830172 Going through the Capital, doesn’t seem like a good idea. How many people travel to the capital?
119020789837 Going through with this project would give more locals job opportunities and help improve highway traffic which seems to be getting
worse year to year.

Having a train and construction in front of the Federal Courthouse would be a nightmare. People can barely turn left out of the
courthouse garage onto Washington as it is. Additionally, you want to tear up 7th Ave and cause God-knows what awful delays on
that road? Has anyone on this committee ever tried driving down 7th Avenue at 5:00 on a weekday? What we DON'T need is for that
road to be even worse for the next five years while this nonsense is built.

119020773499 Having Public Transit is vital for continue economic growth of Phoenix. We should be putting more money into Transit options outside of
standard cars. That is the future. A city this size should have a massive commuter rail system and an actual state rail HUB. Get it
together, we citizens voted for this. We want hi speed rail to LA and Vegas. We want a walkable Downtown with commuter rail options
to all parts of our city. Take the money from the illegal school voucher system we did not vote for!!!!
119035648268 Heard about it in the news but would to see it come down Indian School rd!
119021173272 Hello as resident who has lived in Arizona for over 20 yrs and I'm a frequent public transit user and as someone who can't drive I mainly

119032498272 High capacity transit is critical to Phoenix's future, especially downtown and West Phoenix.
High capacity transit should serve urban, commercial, and residential areas that are convenient and safe for pedestrians. Transit should
not operate in the middle of a freeway that is dedicated to car travel. Transit should serve neighborhoods, not freeway areas. The light
rail should travel directly west along its current path, going directly past the capitol building on Adams and Jefferson. It should then
continue on to Desert Sky Mall. Other light rail lines could be created to improve transit options around the downtown Phoenix area
and Tempe and Scottsdale. Extending lines all the way to suburbs will make the light rail lines less efficient because the light rail still has
to stop at lights. Extending the light rail into the suburbs on its own facility so that it doesn't have to stop at lights would make it more
efficient.
119032622384 Historic Preservation is an important cog in the wheel of progress. Leave historic buildings for the future.
Honestly so disappointing that the state interfered with CAPEX and that these alternate routes miss out on truly connecting downtown
to the Capitol. However, a CAPEX light rail extension is needed and should not be put off to explore other options. The green and blue
line options provide the closest proximation to the original LPAs.
119002323317 Hope to not destroy homes.

119032610620 Hopefully, there will be a yes vote on this and get the transit route to the west valley,
119021455918 Hoping for traffic to get better
119037336563 Hoping this will help clean up the camelback communities and draw in more businesses.
How about having the light rail ACTUALLY GO...UMM WEST!!!!!!!!! ***Like something parallel to McDowell or Camelback ... WESTWARD
towards 99th Ave.??????!!!!!!!!! Imagine that. You won't though. Just more excuses to 100% forget and disrespect the ACTUAL WEST
valley. Facts
119005516243 How long is this transition
119038685461 Hurry the project up please
hurry up and start it already if people cared then youd obvioulsy woulf of heard it or seen it by now. i am excited please build south
capitol disttict , lots of unuesed land filled with homelss people maybe the are can be repuprose as a platform station since theres tons
of open land plus was there a bus station back in the 80s in that are im pretty sure the insfastructure is already laid out buld it dammit.

119038114919 I 100% support light rail going through the capitol district. I found the capitol district to be rather disconnected from Downtown Phoenix
and believe light rail will help to bridge the divide between both parts of Phoenix.
119038112184 I agree that the light rail should go out to west valley
119037150177 I agree with Indian School
119038014912 I almost exclusively use the light rail to get around Phoenix, since I live in Chandler and parking is difficult to find and expensive.
119005528397 I am an upcoming student of downtown ASU and a light rail would make commuting easier and benefit plenty others like me.
I am asking for the light Rail service to be extended to Buckeye on the I_ 10 West freeway to California.. there are lots of Arizona
residents who need your service.And project should start as soon as possible.Right now I am working in Goodyear but live in Phoenix

119038040192 I am Constituent who is always on public transportation, and it would benefit me and my family to be able to get to downtown without
paying parking
119021020384 I am disappointed that Phoenix seems to not want to invest anything into the West side of the city. Like seriously the stadium is out west
and needs more transportation
119038162789 I am excited to potentially have a station within walking distance.
119002434783 I am fairly indifferent to the exact route but want the project done fast and easily as possible above all do not sell the West side short
the brt is not enough we deserve better.
119002326739 I am in full support of the west Phoenix expansion. My concern surrounds the light rail. Gentrification is a large concern in this
community. Another concern is will light rail have traffic light preference? I would like the rail to be free.
I am looking forward to the completion of this infrastructure cleaning up Van Buren for those traveling from East to West and vice versa.
I am opposed to any of the proposed routes. These will only create more traffic congestion and delays to downtown and the Capitol
District. Planning and construction take 5 years. There is never any mention of the funding for these projects. I do not believe there is
approved funding and am opposed to any more funding from Valley residents. More employees are working remotely in this area and
will not need transportation. Rail construction hurts area businesses. Rail operation brings more crime. There are numerous other
transportation options for commuters and residents. The City Council should not vote to approve one of these locations.

119036042407 I am pro light rail and expansion.
119031272577 I am so grateful for the existing light rail and am really, really hoping for more high capacity transit in Phoenix in the future. Thank you
for all of the hard work that you do.
119038006560 I am very excited about the expansion of the light rail into West phoenix. Although I would have preferred the 7th St. route as my first, I
do not want this project delayed
119016302232 I appreciate how VALLEY METRO he did the input it received after the May outreach meetings and create a new route to circumvent
historic neighborhoods and properties.
118999441474 I attended the public event at Capital School. A little deeper dive with pros and cons other than keeping on schedule or not would
help voters in their recommendation.
119005528353 I believe as a student this transit will be very convenient for us and those who frequently use it, I also believe having this option many
will be want to use it.
118997147796 I believe have the ability for more to people access to the Wesley Bolin plaza without a vehicle would be great
I believe it is a waste of money. If it can't fund itself in its patrons, then we need to cut it lose and focus the funds to better things.
119000574505 I believe it should run on glendale ave to west gate/ casino.
I believe it’s essential to build out this extension. I also believe it imperative that no homes in Woodland Historic District will be
demolished. I’m pleased to see they will be protected.

I believe that it is a good idea because it can help a lot of people who don’t have the ability to use any other form of transportation
119009837240 I believe that Phoenix as a whole is doing the right thing by thinking about the future and investing in mass transportation options like
light rail.
I believe that the West Valley I-10 expansion will serve as a tremendous asset to the Maryvale community and surrounding areas. This is
a community made up of hard-working individuals and families that would thrive on expanded access to public transit. It would also
open up access to healthcare services throughout the Phoenix area and promote sustainable transportation options for shopping,
dining, and recreation. Please consider the overwhelming support of the Maryvale community. Thank you.

119001833604 I believe that we should look at other rail alternatives such as light metro. Infrastructure similar to the Phoenix sky train at sky harbor
would be more efficient for Phoenix valley metro expansion. 1) the infrastructure would be grade separated allowing for faster
service without interference of existing traffic this can also reduce vehicular/train accidents 2) stations can be enclosed and climate
controlled which is perfect for phoenix’s climate 3) as it’s completed grade separated we can consider automation of the trains
which would save in operational costs overtime 4) with said automation this also allows for more frequent service such as potential
24 hour service similar to phx sky train 5) can create a true rapid transit experience. The infrastructure also can use a smaller footprint
as its monorail.
118998804344 I believe the Southern route best suits the existing landscape. the southern route makes the most sense and doesn't disurb the
neighborhoods or businesses.
119017430637 I believe this a very important project for the people that work and live in the area. The project should continue, as it will help many
people and make Phoenix a better place .
119038068763 I believe this is a great project that will connect the west valley to the east valley. As someone who lives in the west valley and works in
Tempe, it is very difficult to find consistent public transit to help with my commute. By having the light rail extend to the capitol and out
west, will greaty reduce transit times, and create better connectivity. Please move forward with this project to create a more
accessible valley for all.
119001307468 I bought my house in Maryvale because the light rail was supposed to be coming out this way. I am banking on you brining high
quality affordable and sustainable public transit to my neighborhood in a timely manner.
119037239934 I can go to Suns and Dbacks game from Indian school that would be great!
119037079939 I catch the bus on McDowell but would use the light rail on Indian school
119036291292 I could get everywhere faster off Indian school
119038005168 I could use it.
119034587269 I definitely use a faster and safe transportation
119001446142 I dislike busses. I have driven to 19th and Camelback to get the rail to go downtown. I would love to see a continuation to Westgate
for the stadium. But, perhaps, a system like the Sky Train would be appropriate, which would run more cars during events at the
stadium, with less frequent connections at other times.
118996907582 I do hope its a elevated route. That would make sure there are no accidents and provide a safer passage through the area. Elevated
would be preferred.
I do not support the light rail going to the west. It is a single line of transportation . For the light rail that has been working it has been
nothing but a headache and insanity. Making another track is unnecessary I don't care what others want or say. Light rail is problems.
Period. Valley metro should be making longer hours of operation for all the late night and overnight workers who use the bus. Better
busses for the West Phoenix area. The light rail doesn't go north or south so it is useless to build it. The west side surprise sun city bell rd
base line need the bus system more than a stupid light rail. Laveen has grown and with the city growing the bus system needs to step it
up and be more available to the residents of Phoenix. A lot of city's have a 24 hour system. As of now the light rail runs longer than most
bus routes. It needs to be reversed so that people can get to their neighborhoods and get home. The light rail will never do that for our
community. The light rail is just an expensive glorified bus system. Valley metro needs to think about their riders and how to make it
better for all in the community. The light rail does not need to extend anywhere anymore for any reason.

119021851589 I do not understand why the City of Phoenix has taken so long in providing comprehensive public transportation for the people of
Phoenix. It is lethal out there, from the tiny sidewalks, waiting for a bus in the triple degree temperatures with little to no shade, to the
bus that passes you by late at night.
119020613433 I do not.
118997870502 I do ride light rail downtown. Need morelight rail security
119038030561 I do want it on Indian school
119005408815 I don’t
119038684694 I don’t believe the line is utilized enough to warrant expansion
119037949430 I don’t care but think Indian school is better for more people
119038688357 I Don’t think the I10 west expansion should follow the I-10. I think the west valley line should follow Indian School to the west to the 79th
and park and ride section. Then we need to connect the light rail to Estrella Mountain Community College.
119033489378 I don’t use it but family does, I would too if on Indian school rd
119035523053 I don’t use it but I think it would be good down Indian school
119036423055 I don’t use it but it would be good on Indian school
119036394537 I don’t use it now. It used to, and I down school is helpful
119038018356 I don’t use light rail, TRANSPORTATION, but I believe a lot of people would benefit from this, especially in the West Valley
119038678206 I don’t use public transit anymore but I think Indian is the better option
119037109223 I don’t use the bus but think it would be good on Indian School
I don't believe that the current legislature makes decisions about the route. I feel their negativity does not take into account all the
workers in the building surrounding the area near the Capitol who voted for the light rail to come to their neighborhood. This project
was adopted by special election and they have no power over it. As I taxpayer, I have contributed to the building of light rail in the
other parts of the valley. The west side should not be short changed. We are as good as anyone one else and it is our turn for other
parts of the valley to contribute to light rail for the west side.
I don't love the light rail going down the highway, but believe that West Phoenix deserves to have light rail. The Maryvale Village Core
should have light rail. The extension that connects the two should serve the State Capitol so people can conveniently access their
government.
119021491816 I don't use public transportation
119006571293 I don't. Thank you.
119037999986 I drive to work and often get a large amount of traffic of people trying to get on the I-10. If the light rail would extend to the Cardinal
status it would decrease traffic, pollution and possibly increase revenue along with more affordable transit for Arizonans. Not doing this
should not be an option you should serve all of Arizona not just high pollution areas
119038579465 I enjoy the choices I have with the different routes

I feel it is a safety concern for the Capital buildings and businesses. It will also be devastating for the Smurthwaite House and
cemeteries, along with artifacts located beyond the fencing. This will only encourage the homeless to camp out at light rail stops.
119022989519 I feel it is much needed in our West Phoenix communities.
119019481901 I feel it’s vitally important that we do not stop and reassess west Phoenix public transit. This has been delayed enough already! Let’s get
this light rail built! We’re excited to have our community linked to the light rail and start taking advantage of it!
119034105506 I feel like it is a good idea to go down Indian school because it is very convenient for me and many others.
119038593950 I feel like there should be more options through out the city, popular or not
119014378863 I feel strongly that homes in Woodland Historic should NOT be demolished to make way for the lightrail.
119005540378 I feel this because the over crowding is a huge problem.
119018385481 I find it odd that a laws of sorts was passed to not allow the light rail along Jefferson. Jefferson seems like a logical path. Do NOT have
the light rail go up 7th Ave.
119032047887 I frequently visit Phoenix, and hope to move back to Phoenix one day. My goal is to take light rail from the Shea or East Cactus stops to
downtown before I am too old to walk to the stop.
119005532330 I go to school in the maryvale area and occasionally use the bus.
I have a few recommendations for the light rail and city council that I wrote below. Here. 1. I think the BRT bus should run from 35th
Ave Van Buren to the Central and Van Buren. This area of 35th Van Buren is underserved on light rail and BRT transportation. 2. Or the
light rail should run through the State Fairgrounds on McDowell it would benefit the Arizona State Fair season and other fairgrounds
events and then have the light rail cross through the freeway going to west Phoenix. 3. If the light rail proceeds with the I-10 route a
light rail station should be built on 35th ave I-10. Also please take into consideration ADA accommodation Please keep in mind not to
destroy historic districts or old non designated historic neighborhoods Last recommendation is that as light rail is expanded it is
important to add security and surveillance especially in the route of West Phoenix. It be recommended that a specialized Unit should
be created like a Police Light Rail Transit Unit that is only dedicated to light rail policing and light rail crime center surveillance systems
to align with modern crime fighting techniques employed in other parts of the country.

119036391455 I have family that uses the light rail and Indian school would be good
I have lived in west Phoenix my entire life, and the idea of having a lightrail line has always been a possibility. We as a city have a
unique opportunity to reevaluate our options, and choose one that will actually serv residents of the west side and our needs. The
Indian School line is the closest we have ever been to access to high speed transit. Rather than allowing the complicated politics of
the CAPX section dictate our cities timeline for transit, we can actually move forward with a transit line that would change the lives of
tens of thousands of residents. 2040 as a goal to build a line that would erve this many residents is insane, and bings into question if we
will ever have high speed transit. Insterad, lets reevaluate and choose the option that gives us the ability to choose our own timeline as
well as serve the residents of this city.
119033465960 I have no car but would like to see light rail on Indian school for travel and work
I have pros and cons, but looking at the situation more closely I think Indian school would be a perfect point to run light rail because of
the dangers on Indian school Road this would reduce accidents and deaths
I hope they will proceed but will evaluate how to preserve the historic resources and ensure that heritage is not lost in Oakland and
Woodland, and with consideration for resources that could contribute in other areas of Phoenix as they approach 50 years of age.

119018450928 I hope this gets built soon
I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that this expansion is fulfilled and is not killed by selfish and malicious actors of the Republican
party and the various interest groups that do not wish to see Phoenix become the best city it can be. For too long, public transit has
been neglected across this country, despite the numerous benefits it brings. Equality, affordability, accessibility, and sustainability are
some of the benefits I can name off the top of my head, the positives are boundless and bountiful.

I just attended the live webinar tonight, Jan 15 and this is really the first time I've been aware of the CAPEX route plans. I live just west of
the 19th & Van Buren intersection and drive downtown via Van Buren frequently. You mentioned it in the presentation but there's
already a lot going on at the Grand & 7th Ave intersection and I fear that routing the light rail there would be a mess. Van Buren and
19th Ave can also be a busy intersection already so I would just ask that whatever route we go with we keep that in mind. I'd love to
see more information about the plans for the 16th North route, but that would be my only concern there. If the route is elevated as
mentioned tonight I think that would address my concerns. But then would there even be any station west of 17th Ave along Van
Buren? If not I don't really think it makes sense to route along Van Buren. Thank you for the info. I am very interested in staying
informed as the project progresses.
I just have a question regarding the impact of the capex and Phoenix light rail extension. Will it have a negative impact on traffic,
schools and impacting residential houses and area and businesses? If so would there be a way to mitigate that to make sure the
benefits wouldn't outweigh the costs? For example, there are schools, high schools for example along 19th ave and Thomas, and
there is Phoenix community college along around 16th ave and Thomas. This could be a great benefit. I just would like if you could
consider the impact such as construction, traffic and people who drive cars. Thank you!
119001885205 I just hope it can be completed in a timely manner. Also, possibly a few more stations depending on the length of the extension on the
10.
119029731281 I know there is political wrangling that has to be taken into account here, with the legislature being resistant to the light rail being close
to the capitol. As long as the new plans are consistent with the limits set out by the legislature in the compromise which allowed re-
authorization of proposition 400, I do not see much of an issue with any of the alignments, but the A-line seems to be the best way.
However, if this involves pushing the envelope with the legislature and possibly threatening the viability of this and future rail projects, I
would change my choice the whatever DID allow construction of the light rail.
119038596216 I like go be able to got to the gym and come back.
119005565237 I like it
119012802598 I like the blue dashed line on Van Buren.
119036401630 I like the idea of in your school road having a light rail
119036400747 I like the idea of the light rail going down in School Road

119036396782 I like the idea of the light rail going down Indian school Road
119038703126 I like the idea of the light rail on Indian school because it would give the students access to get to school quicker
119036277015 I like the idea off Indian school rd
119036319868 I like the light rail extension because its great for the people who don't have vehicles
119037924590 I like the light rail extension on Indian School because
119038026435 I like the light rail extension on central and Indian school because it would be great for the people
I live and work downtown. It's my experience that light rail makes intersections safer and reduce people wanting to beat red lights
where rail crosses the intersection. I also see how it has benefited businesses as I see packs of people coming off light rail stops to go to
conferences. Expansion is a great investment for the area and it is extremely short sited not to see the benefits.
119034200599 I live around desert sky mall and would prefer it went down Indian school rd
119037067895 I live downtown it would be awesome if it went down Indian School
119037118946 I live in buckeye but transit should be the
119018393233 I live in Chandler, but I'd go to West Phoenix much more often if I could go by light rail instead of by car.
119036388734 I live in good year but I think Indian School would be cool I’m come to this side often
119037885996 I live in Goodyear but extending it on Indian school would help w people’s getting around
119035666951 I live in the area of Indian school rd
119036415284 I live in the heart of Maryvale and want to see it on Indian School
119028373039 I live in the Melrose area and saw a lot of their friends lose their businesses along Central when the first line went in. Melrose is an art
community we do now want to see disrupted as we saw on Central
I live in the Woodland Historic district and feel I have finally found a home not just a place to live. I am also staunchly PRO-public
transit and Lightrail. But want the city and authorities to consider the most appropriate routes for us residents. I strongly support the
16th Avenue South alignment for the light rail extension, as it offers the greatest transportation and community benefits with the least
disruption. This alignment provides a straighter and more efficient route with fewer turns, which should improve travel times and
simplify construction. It follows a corridor with relatively limited residential and business impacts and preserves flexibility for the future I-
10 West Extension toward Jackson Street, an area that is largely vacant or industrial. It would also help stimulate much-needed
economic development in the southern Capitol area and provide an additional high-capacity transit option that complements, rather
than duplicates, the planned Bus Rapid Transit line on Van Buren. By contrast, I am concerned about the 16th Avenue North
alignment. This option would disrupt access along Washington Street near Wesley Bolin Plaza, where major civic events such as
parades, marches, and community gatherings are regularly held. It would place the rail line directly adjacent to Mater Misericordiae
Catholic Church and the Woodland Historic District, introducing noise and environmental impacts to an important historic
neighborhood. As i stated above it also overlaps with the future Van Buren BRT corridor and could negatively affect businesses along
Van Buren through prolonged construction and possible roadway widening. Finally, the 7th Avenue North option does not appear to
be a practical or responsible choice. It does not make sense from a traffic or corridor-planning perspective and would likely introduce
additional congestion and delay rather than improve mobility. It also appears more likely to slow the project than move it forward.
For these reasons, I urge the Authority to advance the 16th Avenue South alignment and eliminate the 16th Avenue North and 7th
Avenue North options from further consideration.
119021037407 I live in Tucson and come to Phoenix often for work. I take Flixbus and connect by light rail to downtown, but it doesn't go far enough.
By taking transit, I can get a full work day in, doubling my productivity. Having this extension is essential for regional connectivity,
reducing traffic, and improving air quality.
119036421638 I live just behind desert sky mall, please bring down Indian School
119038025477 I live more west but Indian school is a good route for me
119005536253 I live near maryvale and would like more public transport options
119021099531 I live near the light rail, and it has destroyed the businesses along its path. It is a huge inconvenience for everyone besides the 4 people
riding it.
119037240687 I live on the reservation but I think Indian School is a good idea
119037088335 I live right behind desert sky mall and would like it down Indian school
119013997739 I lived in the area of Northern when the lightrail was being built, the construction and traffic was horrible and lasted way too long. Im
concerned about what this may cause in such busy areas although I do see a need.
119002420537 I love 16th Ave. South Route because it seems like a great opportunity to activate that area economically. But honestly, i like all of
These routes. Thank you for listening to feedback. I can't wait to ride light rail more often!
118998809851 I love light rail and can't wait for it to extend into the west valley.
119021478733 I love public transit we need it!
119022392730 I love public transit! Please build more between phoenix and Scottsdale!
119020809716 I love seeing the trains and LOVE public transit. Seeing growing transit shows to me that the city believes in growing and fostering a
healthy community for all walks of life.
I love the idea of PHX having a usable mass transit system that serves the community. Unlike other metropolises, PHX is a sprawling city.
We drive 20 minutes, one-way to pick up to-go dinner. An hour+ commute is standard. However, my husband and I have started using
the Express commuter bus from Avondale into downtown and we are HUGE proponents of it! Our employer offers free annual passes
so there was no 'risk' for us to try it out. I've even convinced two of my colleagues to use the commuter transit system. However, there
continues to be a lot of fear with mass transit, especially downtown with the rampant transient population. Plus, PHX has so many
'transplant' citizens (me included) who may have little to no mass transit experience. The stigma plus the fear of the unknown is a major
deterrent. If the transit options are easy to navigate, more people will use it. Or at least try it. Traffic is out of control, parking is awful,
and DUIs continue to be a burden and danger to PHX's community. Having convenient stops, easy to use tickets/payment, and timely
service will encourage 'regular' citizens/workers to use mass transit instead of personal vehicles.

119020054545 I LOVE THE LIGHT RAIL I WANT ONE HUNDRED LIGHT RAIL EXTENSIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
119020060961 I LOVE THE LIGHT RAIL I WANT ONE HUNDRED LIGHT RAIL EXTENSIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
119021252228 I love the light transit
119029888898 I love to see the system improving and expanding to the west; however, seeing that all routes appear to traverse through the 3rd Ave
loop and where proposed platforms will be located could cause connection issues. Could a suggested plan be made to include
South Hub and 3rd St/Jefferson as a final Eastbound stops for the I-10/CAPEX project and utiize the 5th St loop to begin Westbound at
North Hub as the transfer point? That would utilize the purpose of the Downtown Hubs as a central transfer point for all directions. This is
a broad idea and logistics of it could be discussed later on.
119006537103 I love Valley Metro.
118997580010 I mainly ride the light rail to go to dbacks games and it would be nice if we could go back to the schedule prior to June 2025 change
with the central ave rails curving and dropping passengers off right in front of the stadium instead of only going north/south. Atleast
only on game days.
119021145083 I moved to this city over a decade ago and had hoped to be able to use transit to work for the state. It’s incongruous with Phoenix’s
position as a modern metro that there is still no option for state employees, and for the public accessing civil services to use the light rail
system that is already connecting valley cities. Furthermore, the West valley’s comparative isolation in terms of transit and active
transportation options for connecting to downtown Phienix and East valley cities reduces residents’ quality of life in a way that is
completely unacceptable for a city whose residents have voted to affirm their desire for this connection four separate times. Please,
just get this built before our state loses the money promised for it!
119038073325 I need a bus that runs down mckellips road service from Mesa Dr EAST would be welcome
119037288360 I need a ride west!
119034188143 I need it for dr visits, I live near Indian School rd
119018467856 I oppose this project because it will harm local small businesses through long construction shutdowns, reduce parking and traffic safety,
increase crime and homelessness, raise rents, and displace long-standing businesses.
I own a business on Van Buren & 17th Avenue and I believe the light rail construction could kill our business if it runs down Van Buren.
We have been in business in the Valley for over 62 years and we would hate for the light rail to end our long-time service to the Valley.

119023711103 I own a house on Jefferson and 22nd Ave and want a stop that’s near me
119038492672 I own La Canasta Capitolio on 17th Ave & Van Buren and I worry that if the light rail runs down Van Buren, it will be the end of our
restaurant's long-time service to the Capitol area residents and employee. I strongly ask you to consider the 16th Ave South Light Rail
option to keep it from ruining our business. Thank you for your time.
119032368130 I personally feel that it would only cause chaos thru the west valley. I will never have any need for the light rail use.
119037225018 I prefer Indian School rd
119038083265 I prefer Indian School Rd. This is a much better option because of the high population
119037351681 I prefer one of the proposed routes because a re-evaluation could discard the possibility of bringing light rail services to West Phoenix.
Having the opportunity to use the light rail to connect West Phoenix to Downtown Phoenix and other cities along the route is essential
to residents in the West Valley. The West Valley is growing at an exponential rate. With the amount of traffic congestion in Phoenix, the
light rail extension would be a great help. Having the light rail extend to West Phoenix would help all community members, especially
those individuals who don't know a vehicle and senior citizens.
119020657876 I prefer the ability to rank all possible option at #1, but since I can’t I will state it here. MORE transportation options everywhere!
119033484546 I rather see Indian school rd because I go by there
119032586685 I really appreciate the light rail and prefer it to driving downtown. Extending the light rail would most certainly increase foot traffic to
downtown and help create a vibrant downtown.
I really believe we should re-evaluate the extention of the light rail on indian school rd. I feel it would be much better on Thomas rd.
119038108418 I really need this too happen I rely on public transportation so much its vital to me.
119021411022 I really want the light rail.
119037327063 I really would love to see our tax dollars for building an efficient car alternative mood of transit.
119005551526 I ride the bus
119038597323 I simply want to add how important it may be for others to get to school efficiently
119021390805 I strongly believe this project should proceed without delay.
119020454290 I strongly oppose reevaluating this project - it is a needed addition to the area and something that has been approved by Phoenix
voters multiple times. We need public transportation or we face a future of extreme traffic and polluted air. Though there is a small,
vocal contingent of opponents to this project, don't allow them to drown out the voices of the voters. We must follow the will of the
people and make this project happen.

I strongly prefer the 16th Ave South alignment. This route would: •Provide a straighter path with fewer turns, improving travel speed
and likely simplifying construction. •Follow a corridor with minimal housing and businesses, enabling the future I-10 West Extension to
continue toward Jackson Street—an area with vacant land, limited residential impact, and existing industrial uses. •Strengthen the
appeal of the southern Capitol area for investment, bringing much-needed economic development •Add a second high-capacity
transit option serving nearby neighborhoods, complementing the planned BRT line on Van Buren. By contrast, I am deeply
concerned about the proposed 16th Ave North alignment, which would: •Disrupt access along Washington Street near Wesley Bolin
Plaza, where 5Ks, parades, marches, and civic events are regularly held—events that would be forced to reroute or relocate entirely.
•Place the rail line directly beside Mater Misericordiae Catholic Church and the Woodland Historic District, introducing noise and
environmental impacts to congregants and one of Phoenix’s oldest surviving downtown neighborhoods. •Overlap and compete with
the future BRT line already planned for Van Buren. •Threaten businesses along Van Buren with construction impacts—on top of the
upcoming BRT work—and potentially cause long-term harm if road widening is required.

119032830932 I strongly support extending the light rail to the Capitol. I live in Tempe and sometimes travel to the Capitol to listen and speak in
committee meetings and join public demonstrations. I also frequently travel to Olla Olla Crepes on 18th Ave and Van Buren. When I
take the light rail to these locations, walking or transferring to the 3 Bus down Van Buren after getting off the A Line always adds an
extra 25-30 minutes to the trip. I often choose to drive to these locations because of the length of the trip, and I would ride the light rail
more often if the extension is created.
I strongly support the 16 North alignment. I’ve attended numerous open houses and meetings over the years on these two projects.
119020856467 I strongly support the connection of west phoenix via light rail into downtown. It would benefit everyone to add additional public
transit. Including reducing traffic during peak times. Having the option to ride the light rail would make the city that much more
efficient.
119031964220 I support both projects and a future station on 19th Ave./Van Buren St. The 16th Ave. North option would better connect public transit
users.
119001503590 I support CAPEX being built, but I do not support light rail being put in the I-10 median. The extension past the capitol mall corridor
should be done to maximize the developable area into a transit-oriented community, such as having it run along Van Buren St,
McDowell Rd, or Encanto Blvd.

119036295744 I support that Indian school project
119011838240 I support the 16th Ave North and South options.
119020268508 I support the 16th Avenue South alternative because it advances light rail in a way that is both practical and respectful of surrounding
neighborhoods. It delivers a straighter, more efficient route with fewer engineering complications, avoids the displacement of homes
and active businesses, and opens the southern Capitol area to long-overdue reinvestment. Just as importantly, it complements – rather
than competes with – the future Van Buren BRT, helping ensure the I-10 West Extension moves forward on schedule after decades of
waiting.
119020683086 I support the expansion of public transit. We need comprehensive rail in this city and metro area.
119035426581 I support the Indian School Extension. I think the area around Indian School Road would really benefit from this investment and
hopefully improve road safety.

119002405160 I support this, but it can't impact the residential area. There are plenty of options that do not impact homes.
119031952847 I support to re-evaluate high-capacity transit options to serve west phoenix.
119000303884 I suspect that this is the legislature, trying to grease the wheels because those fine feathered "gentlemen" don't want the LRT going by
their workplace. I have to sWhat planet are they living on?
119034182921 I take bus but too slow, on Indian school is better
119035494638 I take the bus and light rail all over the valley and Indian school would be great!
119038593904 I take the bus from 107th and Indian school to 75th and Indian school. Then I walk from Indian school to Thomas, this plan would make
things easier for me.
119033477883 I take the bus on Indian school rd but prefer lightrail
119037231475 I think as Phoenix grows the light rail becomes more important!

119037987117 I think continuing the Lightrail expansion is very helpful
I think everyone should be able to navigate around the city. People need public transport. It’s something all respectable cities invest in.
119037902569 I think families deserve the right to have light rail transportation in West Phoenix
118999946036 I think having transit directly going to the capitol should be priority number 1! Next, would be connecting people to buisnesses/services
in the area. Getting to the supreme court is doable from the blue line but businesses closer to the purple line are skipped by the blue
line.
119037933084 I think Indian school is a better route
119037956200 I think Indian school is great
119037953937 I think Indian school would be good for students and workers
119005401631 I think it good more rides
119038060656 I think it is a good idea because Indian School is the most dangerous street.
119000735420 I think it is critical that light rail provide direct service through the Capitol Mall. The 7th Ave North proposal would not accomplish this
and would cost more time and money. The Capitol Mall has a large number of employees and provides many services to the general
public.
119037914408 I think it is vital that the light rail project continue, and I think it would be so helpful to the public and state workers to have a stop near
the Supreme Court building.
119032010062 I think it will help out with how bad traffic gets out there. Also our elderly folk that work downtown and must travel west.
119021408158 I think it will help with traffic.
119033480991 I think it would be a good idea to go through Indian school for schools and work
119021369242 I think it would be great to connect the Capitol to the rest of downtown with light rail and I don't think the opinions of a few legislators
should unduly influence a major public works project.
119001737419 I think it would be great to have transit in west phoenix to help alleviate traffic and reduce carbon emissions as I have worked in west
phoenix (desert sky area) weekends only for years and I see many many more cars out at the early morning/ late night opposite rush
hour hours than I have in past years.
119037904736 I think it would be interesting to have the light rail run down Indian school Road
119001112947 I think it would be very unfair to look at 'other' transportation options for the west side. We have been waiting for the light rail for a very
long time and do not enjoy being last.
119034136296 I think it would benefit the members of this community and help with traffic.
119036265227 I think it’s a good idea on Indian School
119037148491 I think it’s a good idea on Indian School
119035635684 I think it’s a good idea on Indian school
119037063836 I think it’s a good idea on Indian school
119038591204 I think it’s a good idea on Indian School
119034576414 I think it’s a good idea to go down Indian school rd because there’s a lot of apartments and people of low income that cannot afford
a card and need transportation to get to their job. The west side needs metro
119033212242 I think it’s a good idea. Good for environment.
119038597924 I think it’s a good thing on Indian school
119035639530 I think it’s a great idea for West Phoenix to have the light rail go down Indian school
119037090626 I think it’s a great idea on Indian School
119037132177 I think it’s a great idea that Phoenix residence would be able to ride down through Indian school Road the times I’ve been in Arizona.
I’ve had the pleasure of using The light rail and it is very convenient.
119038016068 I think it’s a great idea to have the light rail down Indian school Road
119037140134 I think it’s a great idea to have the light roll. Go down Indian school Road. It would be an additional transportation for different people
that needed.
119038017468 I think it’s a great opportunity for a lot of people to have the light rail on Indian school Road
119005561065 I think it’s convenient
119036382725 I think it’s faster off Indian school
119036378233 I think it’s fine down Indian school rd
119012874096 I think it’s important to make sure this is as fast as possible to incentivize people to take this instead of driving. So the more grade
separation and signal priority the better.
119021471967 I think it's a lot easier and more simple.
I think it's almost better to split the route and consider doing 2 lines. In this case it would be the already established line A and B ending
in downtown, then CAPEX would have a smaller capacity car like the streetcar in Tempe, then adding something that has high or
higher capacity immediately connecting the other new line. Line C, this line would instead go to surface streets to connect onto the I-
10 via 7th Ave then transition to Grand ave heading northwest, then onto the I-10 heading west. The rail itself would either be in the
middle line a median lane or on the side taking away landscape. These are my thoughts personally but we will see how things go.

119000666018 I think it's important to continually update our public transportation system when we can. I believe it is equally important to try to
consider the locally affected residents considerations and opinions to their vision of what is best for the areas that they live.
I think light rail connected east and west valleys is crucial. I use light rail to attend conferences, concerts, ball games, and work.

119036148420 I think more options are a good thing, it will decrease congestion and help with air pollution.
119021501347 I think our government state building should be accessible.
119037120051 I think Phoenix needs more express lanes and helping people travel faster on Indian School rd would be great
119003085792 I Think public transit expanded to West Phoenix would be a great idea to both reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion as I live
in North Phoenix and work in West Phoenix. Both normal routes and express routes from North Phoenix to West Phoenix early mornings
for earlier work commutes
119038038665 I think students would benefit from the light rail running down Indian school because they would be able to Downtown Easily
119038049244 I think students would benefit from the light rail running down Indian school because they would be able to Downtown Easily

I think that everyone should be able to enjoy the mayhem this light rail has done to our neighborhood. Bringing in all the drug addicts,
increased thefts and bbreak ins. People lining the street corners right by the rails. Needles in the streets, selling right on the corners
without a care in the world. Leaving their trash all over the place. My neighborhood has completely gone to shit- and we NEVER had
this many issues until that stupid train was put in. So YES- for all those that want it- TAKE IT TO THEIR HOUSES WHERE THEIR KIDS ARE!!!

119038683290 I think that Phoenix valley metro should be all over the valley. Even going towards Buckeye. This would eliminate a lot of people
driving. People will do more park and ride
I think that the routes avoiding 7th ave and the historic neighborhoods around van buren are better options for transit-oriented
development around CAPEX. I think that all public transit is doomed to fail without considering the land use around the transit route:
the historic neighborhoods will make it more difficult to build things like denser housing and redevelopment in general. The 10WEST
plan, however, is a disservice to transit riders. Median running train stations are difficult to access for pedestrians, do not support
walkable transit oriented development because the usable area in each walkshed is reduced by the highway, uncomfortable to wait
at, and expose pedestrians to pollution from the highway (combustion & fine particulate). I have used median running transit in other
cities and it felt like the traffic planners were at worst insulting any non-car user and at best not considering the experience of transit
users. I invite any planner or city council member to spend 15 minutes (the shortest headway between trains) at one of the few
pedestrian bridges crossing a highway in the phx area: this is going to be the experience of anyone using any of the stations in the
median running section. If valley metro and city council want to improve ridership and make public transit a viable alternative to
driving (which would help traffic way more than adding new lanes to the highway) the experience of taking the metro has to be
pleasant. In my opinion this plan (and the urban planning of phoenix in general) considers any non-car users as an afterthought.

119024409059 I think the east west bound metro transit should go east/West on McDowell
119038037872 I think the light rail going to the West Valley, who would be a great option of transportation
I think the light rail is an excellent option for many without a vehicle to get around the city and continuing to extend its reach will allow
more people to get to and from work, school, and shopping therefore reducing the strain on some who are reliant on public transit
119031993306 I think the light rail should go as far west to Goodyear, if the light rail extends to mesa in the opposite direction
119020878761 I think the overall expansion of Light Rail can only be a good thing for Phoenix.
118997830145 I think the south 16th route is perfectly serviceable for purpose, the other options seem like they would be nice assuming the community
its running through generally wants it. Revaluation seems like a mistake
119012683910 I think the west valley is missing access to downtown and a light rail extension is the best option. It should go down Thomas to Desert
sky mall.
119006469454 I think they are great.
119028484545 I think they should build the tracks through Indian School Rd.
119002257311 I think this is a good idea but I am concerned about the traffic made by the construction. Otherwise I think this would open up more
opportunities for me.
119038708723 I think this is a great opportunity for a lot of community students and every day workers
119030695458 I think this is a great option and needs to get done. The blue or green options make the most sense.
119017448290 I think this is great! What if Valley metro built a gondola over south mountain? This would be an amazing gift to the valley and allow so
many people to see the beauty of our city and connect the south to the north for fun events downtown reducing demand on our
freeways.
119023104302 I think this will be a great opportunity.
119038003380 I think we really should keep light rail as an option for west Phoenix. Bus lines are great but unless they run on their own right of way,
they’ll just get stuck in traffic and will not provide a meaningful alternative to driving into the downtown area. Light rail can help bring
additional use of the system for events downtown or trips to the airport from west valley residents. I think people would love to be able
to get to Suns games or Dbacks games for just $4 per person rather than paying for parking or a rideshare. Same with concerts and
events downtown that add to Phoenix’s economy.
119037321235 I think we should have light rail on Indian School Rd because it would provide better access to the West Valley, which is desperately
needed!
119038682855 I think what the legislature wants is totally unreasonable.
119018203905 I thought the public had already voted on this? Please listen to what the community wants.
119013608593 I took the survey earlier today and chose the 16th Avenue North option; after listening to Woodland neighbors, the South option seems
to be preferred. So, I changed my preference to the South option. Also, if BRT goes along Van Buren, it does not make sense to also
have light rail there. Thank you.
119037903700 I totally agree with the indian school project
119036398305 I totally support the light rail on the school road. It would be so much better for a lot of people.
119037198198 I totally support the Murrayville project for the light rail. This is the community that would benefit from this service.
119038045070 I use public transit and think it needs to come down Indian school rd
119037289033 I use public transportation 5 days a week. We need options
119005553273 I use the bus
119034107745 I use the bus and light rail often getting from place to place
119037155799 I use the bus and light rail on Indian School would help me
119037234141 I use the bus and light rail once in a while and I would support Indian school
119035555141 I use the bus but prefer lightrail on Indian school
119034197880 I use the bus by west gate but would use it to go down Indian school rd from desert sky mall
119037135271 I use the bus everyday and would appreciate the light rail on Indian School rd
119021550809 I use the light rail regularly. Please keep expanding it it is great for our community.
119034104830 I use transportation near West Phoenix
119034137148 I used to take bus to school, light rail is faster on Indian school rd
I used to take the Bus from Central ave & Indian school all the way to 86th ave & McDowell. Its exciting to think about that route being
so much easier/faster for folks who have to head that way. West Phoenix is expanding so much- itll be nice to let folks experience that
119035671453 I used to use public transit a lot and think Indian school is a good idea
119036377324 I used to use public transport and would be cool if it was on Indian school
119038040734 I usually do public transportation, and the light rail is an amazing idea. I would definitely use it.
119038040453 I usually use public transportation

119037230905 I walk everywhere so Indian school would be easier to catch light rail
119021239326 I want city council too consider the Maryvale Light Rail extension along Indian School Road.
I want discussions in tandem with bus routes and neighborhood circulators routes so we can minimize impact on small businesses and
maximize access to aall neighborhood. If we move to an alternative route through Indian School Road and Maryvale I'd want better
more accessible representation from neighborhoods and businesses than the initial 19th Ave. light rail building.

119034153057 I want it because it's convenient to the commute
119021244996 I want Maryval Light Rail Line
119002266458 I want more access to public transport in more efficient ways.
118998150782 I want more light rail. The 16th Ave North option & I10 west options are good, and I look forward to the Indian school extension as well. I
want more light rail throughout the rest of the city such as up 24th St to Camelback. I want Phoenix to be a walkable city and a transit
centered city.
119020780435 I want the City to follow through on extending Light Rail.
119037721988 I want the council to listen to the neighborhood and go forward with their preferred route without any delays.

119020612438 I want to see the Light Rail extension from Metro Center to Westgate prioritized. Then extend North to Arrowhead and around along the
101 to I-17 and back South to pick up the line at 19th Ave; and South to I-10 corridor and back to central Phx.
119002265543 I want transportation to be easily accessible for all people

119034556458 I wanted the extension because I could stop taking uber
119034564686 I wanted the light rail extension because transport people better
119003063315 I was excited at once about the light but I rather have the Waymo come our way. Can't wait till 2040.
119038030384 I will always want more frequent, faster trains with no fare. I will cote for any bond or tax increase proposed for this.
119003057393 I will be a transit rider (written next to #4 answer). Overcrowded city! (written next to zip code)
119020799102 i will happily pay more tax dollars for projects that improve my community
119038595807 I will like to go to the casino and baseball games
119021804295 I will not have you ignore the public transportation. That I have voted for.
119028486779 I will really love to see a transit maryvale.
119037171073 I wish for the light rail to expand more westward.
I work at 15th Ave and Washington and I'm excited to see the progress! I hope the expansion can also be part of the revitalization of
the neighborhood between 7th and 15th Ave.'s. If you've ever been to DC you probably visited the National Mall, which sits
between two wide boulevards (Constitution and Independence). And along the Mall are museums, offices businesses. Why can't we
have that for the corridor along Washington and Jefferson between downtown and the Capitol?

119017442988 I work at ADOT.... Looking forward to a line that serves State employees.
118998933706 I work downtown near the Capitol District
119021343007 I work in west Phoenix so it would be helpful to have another transit option in west Phoenix.
119020828090 I work near by and would 100% do park and ride from 38th and Washington and back if the light rail went to the capital
119035554900 I would 3the light rail extension because convince
119031959905 I would appreciate the Maryvale light rail extension along Indian School Rd.
119034590537 I would be convenient to use light rail on indian school rd
119033487442 I would def use it more if on Indian school rd, bus too slow
119033500938 I would def use it more if on Indian school rd, bus too slow
119035664156 I would definitely like to see the light rail go down Indian School Road
119020734764 I would frequent businesses more in the capitol district and west phoenix if there was light rail there.
119037283143 I would hope it helps clean up the area for families by bringing in more business to the area
119038434446 I would just like to see the light rail reach and pass Thur 43rd ave.
119023459367 I would like a route that gets close enough to the capitol so I would not need to take a bus to the Capitol. I would like it to be within
two blocks at the very most to walk. I do not know how you are going to the west valley, but I lived in Chicago and they have some
of their trains in the Medium built up which I would approve.
119034572888 I would like it because better
119034204610 I would like it because I'm touring the city
119034158146 I would like it because it benifit to get back and fourth

119026524699 I would like it to be elevated so that it can be faster. There's a lot of pedestrian areas there and the intersections are short, plus its
downtown. I think it's just makes sense to keep it off the ground.
119038594436 I would like it to be in West Phoenix as a teenager I would use it. I also know that other teenagers in West Phoenix in my position would

119032857219 I would like to propose some of the exceptional flowering landscape trees that will bring unique visual and/or functional landscape
ecological benefits along the new Light Rail corridors. Would you please consider the landscape design for the new Light Rail
Extensions to incorporate the following flowering trees? Handroanthus impetiginosus (Purple Tabebuia Tree): Purple Tabebuia Trees
have increasingly been planted in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and they’ve generally performed quite well—especially considering
the challenges of the desert climate. Their spectacular purple-pink flowers are a major visual attraction for urban landscapes.
Guaiacum coulteri (Tree of Life / Wood of Life / Sonora Guaiacum): Guaiacum coulteri (Tree of Life / Wood of Life / Sonora
Guaiacum) is a beautiful flowering evergreen petite tree with bright lavender-blue flowers. Guaiacum coulteri wood has been stated
to be one of the firmest wood materials on earth. Planting Guaiacum coulteri will bring a sense of place due to its long-lasting
flowering periods from Spring to Fall. Both green and silver Texas Mountain Laurel trees: Texas Mountain Laurel is an attractive
flowering petite tree with stunning violet wisteria-like blooms smelling of Grape Kool-Aid, which can be enjoyed by the passengers
waiting for the train. My planting design proposal is to alternate between both green and silver Texas Mountain Laurel trees within a
few key light rail stations. The planting design of applying both green and silver Texas Mountain Laurel trees on an individual light rail
station will be impressive since they generate pleasant contrasts. Cercis canadensis var. mexicana: Cercis canadensis var. mexicana
is also a flowering petite tree with a dense rounded crown and pea-like blossoms that range between rosy-pink and red-burgundy
color. For earthen retention/detention and rainwater harvesting basins along Park and Ride areas, please plant the Xero-riparian
native trees of Prosopis pubescens (Screwbean Mesquite), Olneya tesota (Ironwood), and Psorothamnus spinosus (Smoke Tree) on the
lower portion of slopes at retention/detention basins. Prosopis pubescens (Screwbean Mesquite), Olneya tesota (Ironwood Tree),
and Psorothamnus spinosus (Smoke Tree) have been considered as “disadvantaged native plant species.” Screwbean Mesquite
(Prosopis pubescens) is an ecologically and culturally significant legume tree throughout the Southwest U.S. Unfortunately, its
population (distribution/density/relative abundance) has declined or disappeared from more than half its former range. Olneya tesota
(Desert Ironwood Tree) is a keystone native longevity legume tree that could live over 1,000 years. Due to its longevity, Desert Ironwood
is an ideal native tree that can grow into a remarkable Heritage Tree for future generations to appreciate. As a keystone nurse plant,
Desert Ironwood supports up to 500 different plant and animal species, far more than many other native trees that are able to. Desert
Ironwood Trees enjoy moisture with rapid growth during the scorching summer months of June, July, August, and September. It will be
ecologically and culturally significant for us to foster these “disadvantaged native plant species” through new Light Rail projects. The
last eye-catching flowering petite tree is Ungnadia speciosa (Mexican Buckeye). Please avoid planting the non-native invasive
Dalbergia sissoo. Dalbergia sissoo (North Indian Rosewood) has escaped from cultivated sites in the U. S. as an invasive non-native
species. Aggressive root encroachment has been another common problem with Dalbergia sissoo. Roots have been observed to
damage sewer lines, sidewalks, pavers, curbing, masonry walls, as well as other landscape elements including lawns. To ensure the

119002795085 I would like to see the previous two-way track alignment for the CAPEX project. The alignment along I-10 for the 10WEST extension isn't

I would like to voice my concerns about the light rail expansion west around the Capitol and along I 10 to the West Valley. I do not
believe the existing light rail system has turned out as originally envisioned, and I have heard that it costs more to operate than was
initially anticipated. Given these concerns, I do not think it is wise to expand the system further. Additionally, the traffic disruptions
required to build this extension would be severe. I do not believe that the level of disruption to drivers, businesses, and neighborhoods is
in the best interests of the community. For these reasons, I do not support the proposed westward light rail expansion.

I-10 west light rail extension is an amazing idea and should be prioritized. It would be amazing if Phoenix could have a modern, safe,
convenient and easily accessible train system similar to the system in Seattle.

I-10 West needs extended car pools lanes (double lanes), repaving, from Buckeye to 35th ave to really see any kind of improvement
on traffic. The growth since the 90s hasn't kept up with the roads and it shows! We aren't prepared for a real disaster if it happened on
our roadways with minimal ways in and out of the city! We need to do better. Also enough with the light rail ruining businesses and
streets because you thought of it after the fact...I don't want it ruining the West side like you did to downtown businesses!! Keep it
downtown where you need it. I also don't want more homeless coming and going to my side of town thank you very much!

I-10 west to 79th Ave. and North to Bus terminal at Thomas. Absolutely NOT on Indian School, Thomas or McDowell. Maryvale residents
should have the right to vote down ANY light rail in our village. Glendale rejected light rail. We should be able to do that also.

I17 or 24th Ave is NOT the West Side. The light rail completely ignores the Westside. Should go out I10 west to 101 North to Westgate
and the stadium at a minimum!!!
119037980391 Id like to see a light rail route to Westgate.
119002404860 I'd like to see the light rail come to Maryvale sooner than the 2040s.
119020661755 I'd like to see the light rail extension continued
119011838115 I'd really like to see the light rail get through the remainder of downtown and make it's way to the west valley.
119037075196 Idc I don’t use it but prefer Indian School
119035524524 Idc Indian school is fine
If a line along baseline could be in corporated to loop along southern Phoenix near south mountain, that would be spectacular

119033483674 If it came down Indian school I’d use it to go to Elsa to visit my daughter
119034180631 If it’s on Indian school it would be cool
119038165654 If light rail is able to reach Glendale/Peoria, it would be a game changer.
119034132844 If my car broke down it would be awesome on Indian school rd
If possible, I think the westbound alignment should continue along Washington St until either 7th Ave or 16th Ave to eliminate
unnecessary turns that would slow down trains and to keep it consistent with the rest of the system in the downtown area.
If the city supports their state workers using public transit, they should add in options where those people can actually use it reasonably

If the light rail were to cut through the neighborhood of Maryvale it would increase the safety and efficiency of transit which I am all
for. If the light rail continues to be an eye sore and ends in the capital district than the already complicated road just gets worse.

If the purpose is the make the line accessible to the greater community, the green option makes no sense. This extension has to go to
where people commute, van Buren is the obvious choice
IF the rail wants to be successful, having a railing to State Farm arena area would allow traffic for both games as well as daily
commuters to use the rail. Right now the rail doesn't even touch 50% of the population with it’s current interior routes only.
119032593793 If there are going to be any more delays, since the west extension is the least controversial, to begin on this while arguments continue
(if necessary. The green line, although longer, would appear to distrupt the neighborhood the least as there are no residential homes
along this route.
If you destroy Seventh Avenue with another north-south line only one mile away from Central, I will go feral. You’ve already ruined
the chance to drive north/south on Central by installing a concrete park that forces drivers to take multiple turns – right! left! left! right! -
to make it between Washington and Jefferson. Without turn lanes, behind pedestrian traffic, which lets One or two cars in per light.
You’ve installed a north-south turnaround on Third Avenue that also impedes vehicle traffic flow, and another one on Fifth Street.
Leave the Sevenths alone, to give auto traffic AT LEAST ONE ROUTE that can flow relatively unimpeded, without all the extra stoplights
and inabilities to cross the street this routing would require. This isn’t just “pedestrian/bicycle friendly,” this is actively thwarting
automobile traffic, while slowly destroying every existing major north/south route through downtown street for two miles. Nobody is
going to take light rail to the Capitol: The lawmakers aren’t going to caught dead on public transportation, the lobbyists aren’t either,
and the public isn’t going to that part of town, which is nothing but government buildings.

118996328144 If you guys are expanding to west Phoenix, please have an extension that reaches State Farm Stadium/Westgate in the future as
events happening over there causes way too much traffic. I was stuck for almost 2 hours when the Weekend was here, going to and
leaving the area, and that was NOT OKAY!
119037987616 If you must do 1.a. then go with 7th Avenue
119034579342 I'll be able to travel comfortably
119034132025 I'll be easier to commute for me
119034134317 I'll be easier to commute to down town

I'm all for public transit but where I work on 15th avenue and Van Buren is a worst possible place for homeless to be hanging around
and sleeping the last thing I need is more benches around for the homeless to just hang around at. I am a frequent delivery driver
throughout the day Monday through Friday and I honestly think a light rail is going to be a big problem of being in my way.

I'm concerned that the 16th Avenue North route Could be the worst of both worlds for the parade route, Marathons, protests, and
other events of the state Capitol,because it would go both up Jefferson and up Washington; thus, rather than simply impeding one
parade route, it impedes both.

I'm glad Valley Metro is reevaluating routing choices for the CAPEX Extension to avoid future conflicts. I advocate to advance the 7th
Avenue North alignment to vear onto Grand Avenue instead of using Van Buren Street. Choosing this route will bring rapid transit to the
emerging Grand Avenue District (which currently lacks frequent transit) and avoid costly reconfiguration of Van Buren St to
accommodate both light rail and BRT. Service to the State Capitol, therefore, will be serviced by that BRT line (stop at Van Buren St/17th
Ave), which is beyond the 500-foot restriction imposed by the Legislature. Thank you again for this opportunity to comment.

119023227262 I'm not sold on the safety side of the light rail, period. I don't fear much personally (male, military background, in good shape, project
confidence, have a CCW), but I've ridden it several times and can't imagine a woman or kids being comfortable and not anxiously
waiting for their stop of choice. Commit to keeping it safe before extending it anywhere. I'd never take my kids on it after what I've
seen both onboard and at the stations.

119006548336 I'm very happy about public transportation. It is convenient and a reliable form of transportation.
119038420817 I'm with valley metro on this. Valley metro took the extension into south Phoenix, and it has helped out the community majorly . I feel
we need the light rail to enter West Phoenix . Right now it's a lot of traffic in West Phoenix, by doing this people may choose to ride the
rail as it might be helpful to the community and fix the traffic and accidents that happens in West Phoenix. We should definitely do the
extension. Start with purple line first see how it benefits the community. While waiting on that we should already be breaking ground for
i-10 route for light rail. Once data comes back and the purple line is helping the community then after i-10 extension let's break ground
is near completion we should already be drawing plans for blue and green line. Once fish blue and green line should be getting done
at the same time
119038660861 I'm wondering if the reason that council is "re-evaluating" is because someone wants a different location. Please don't forget about
residents on the west side.
119021174141 Improve the bus system.

In order to see the I-10 West advance to the next phase of development, the CAPEX must continue to move forward. Without CAPEX
advancing through the final design phase with either 16th North or 16th South option, the I-10 West will likely not ever be constructed.

119028373503 In the streets is better
119037361097 Increase security on trains and at stations.

instead of wasting money on lite rail, there is all ready a rail line from the west valley to down town that is not heavily used and would
make more sence to work out a agreement with the Union Pacific for track usage rights and spend a lot less money upgrading the
exsisting rail way then destroying exsisting neighborhoods and busineses as been the standard
119022366919 Investment in reliable public transit is badly needed. This should be an elevated line, providing great benefits to residents of the west
valley
119019630322 Ira very helpfoll
119005562615 Is close to my home and it helps the community
119005561767 Is good for commuting and school
119002415020 Isn't there a building at 16th Ave. and Adam's? How would that affect the project? 16th Ave. South goes through areas without money
businesses or homes
119005400871 It a good District
It continues to feel as if Valley Metro thinks "West Phoenix ends at the State Capital. For those of us that live truly in West Phoenix
(Maryville and beyond), are held hostage and get no opportunity for light rail service while people debate the merits of the Capital
extension. I would love to see meaningful progress on an I-10 West route that goes to the true western boarder of Phoenix or beyond.

It doesn’t make sense to send the project down the I-10 when either McDowell Road or Thomas are an options. These two
thoroughfares are home to the busiest bus routes in the city and deserve to have enhanced transit.
It doesn't really make sense to intentionally make the city less accessible by "reevaluating" this plan. Keep expanding the light rail and
we'll finally have a decent city that will allow it's residents to spend capital at our establishments. If you hate having a healthy city with
a decent cash flow, then keep reevaluating. And you probably need to brush up on your economics classes because this is just sad if
you think a proposed reduction (in comparison to the expansion we already voted for) would somehow generate more revenue via
taxes and expenditures. It's basic Keynesian economics, it takes money to make money.

119031958208 It don't be on time.
119005429777 It has affected small business and had them shutndown
It has been such a good help with getting my son and daughter back and forth to school and work. I would like to see it expand.

119005541105 It helps the community
It is a basic expectation that the light rail should run to the Capitol and western ADOT offices to downtown. 7th Avenue would bypass
the core of government offices which is a basic public transportation expectation of mine. In fact, I was at the capitol this weekend
with my boys for a youth government conference through the YMCA, and we had to drive downtown from the capitol, which seemed
like poor planning. Due to security issues for families, the 16th north seems safer than 16th south. Should woodland historic district want
an extension, it should be a subsequent extension in addition to an extension to the capitol.

119038518239 It is a completely antiquated system and a waste of money.
119038068077 It is a good initiative, just i hope the construction wont take much time 😀😀😀😀
119016309116 It is critical that this project moves forward so that west Phoenix can finally have access to dependable transit.
119001182321 It is crucial that we continue to make progress on the Capitol/I-10 West Extension. If we decide to re-evaluate HCT options then it is
very possible that no such project will ever come to fruition in the future.
119022085327 It is exceedingly important that we strengthen and support the current light rail system. We are tragically behind mass transit and as the
5 largest city the fact that we don’t have the projects more highlighted and robust is a shame.

118996254264 It is extremely valuable and important to continue the expansion of rail transportation in the capitol district, and to ensure that the
endpoint is as close to the capitol as possible.
It is ideal to take a car lane from each direction on Van Buren to use for the light rail extension. Van Buren is unacceptably dangerous
currently. High-speed multi-lane arterials DO NOT BELONG downtown and should be removed entirely in phases. Additionally, please
run the West extention down McDowell rather than on I-10. A highway median is the worst place for light rail. We do not want housing
development near the highway. The highway median can never be a comfortable place to walk, shop, dine, etc. Build a real LIGHT
RAIL that encourages walkable development near its stops, rather than a light rail/commuter rail hybrid that does both poorly.

118998878973 It is more feasible to proceed with LRT instead of bus. Buses add to traffic congestion, and more expensive to operate.
119012383997 It is necessary!
119008671798 It is on the middle of the road this is not right; you need less stopes, more park aaand rides
118999609458 It is paramount to preserve the integrity of the Woodland neighborhood and the surrounding businesses.
It is sad that we are reconsidering work that has been in the planning stage for so long. We need MORE light rail and streetcar in the
Phoenix metro, not less. I am frustrated that special interests and bad actors can so easily create roadblocks and unnecessarily
expensive hurdles, and then complain that projects are so expensive.
119032405411 It is seriously ridiculous that the city insists on "re-evaluating" plans that have been continuously voted for time and time again. Stop
derailing the process and build what we voted T2050 funds would go towards. We need significantly more high-capacity transit options
connecting West Phoenix to downtown. Light Rail, Bus rapid transit AND Commuter Rail. These have all been promised so follow
through with what we have voted for!
119033471891 It is unfortunate the original plans were ignored and changed. Light rail could have been a beautiful system in Phoenix if data-driven
decisions were respected. 7th Avenue should not be an option.
118997144939 It is very much needed.
119020860078 It is vital as a growing city and we have more access to the public transit. I’m from Maryvale and had to buy a car for work. I was
taking the bus for 4 years but the 2-3 hour commute was a lot.
119034522283 It is vital to the growth of the downtown area and connection with outlying communities.
119032071649 It isn't clear from this survey that option 3 will put federal funding in jeopardy, making the entire project less feasible. That information
would have changed the way people voted and should have been included.
119002289645 It makes sense to choose the 16th ave south route because that area needs to be rejuvenated. The northern area is already well
established and the light rail would disturb current flow.
It needs to be efficient with a focus on passenger convenience and timely light rail schedule to be of use for the AZ community.
119005552815 It needs to be extended because the population is growing, help bring down the traffic and help the community
119016454727 It seems like 16th Ave North is the best option due to the higher concentration of schools, businesses, and other points of interest along
Van Buren. The 16th Ave South plan does not have the same potential for connectivity and destination access. We need more transit
and we need it fast!
119037722862 It seems okay.
119032018040 It should be grade separated if possible to make it faster and more reliable
It should be made clear that if the city does not choose an alignment and decides to "re-evaluate", the project effectively dies.
119019026373 It should be tied into the employee schedules at the capital and the state office buildings.
119021411126 It should continue to progress
119004200319 It should serve all the government employees, and also need to have a stop in the the capital mall overlay neighborhood before
getting onto I-17.
119021420703 It will be a good addition to the city.
119034175294 It will be a good idea for a fast and safe transportation
119038052675 It will be a good route to use
119003050406 It will effect my commute.
119034205629 It will. Bring a better ways to connect the city
119034207989 It will. Bring a better ways to connect the city
119034233031 It will. Bring a better ways to connect the city
119005552941 It won’t affect
119037369038 It would be a shame if this project was derailed over concerns that the homeless and/or drug-afflicted communities in the metro
phoenix area will migrate to the west valley. If you rely on this argument, then Congress should address the root issues. Why limit
reliable, low-cost transportation for hard working residents?
It would be amazing if the light rail came west to help reduce the traffic of all the hight school kids who take the bus and give them an
option of taking the bus.
119021010085 It would be beneficial to extend rail services to the lower Buckeye area. Enhancing public transit options in a city the size of Phoenix is a
crucial step toward alleviating traffic congestion. Additionally, ensuring that public transit is both affordable and easily accessible
would be highly advantageous.
119038594192 It would be better for everyone

It would be better to place the alignment along Washington St. westbound, Jefferson St. Eastbound to 15th Ave north/southbound to
VanBuren St. east/westbound. What happened to the 15th Ave alignment option? From the updated options its best to place the
alignment along 16th Ave north although some of the AZ State Land Dept. building will need to be removed for this update. Placing
the alignment on Van Buren is the better option regardless between the 7th Ave north or 16th Ave north alignment options. It is better
because this alignment would place the train closer to where more people live, work, dine, shop, and play instead of south where it
will be further from the majority of users. If placed south it would disinsentivize people from using it because it will be further away from
the majority of the ridership users. On a further note it will be a mistake to put the alignment on the I-10 because it will be further away
from users, the stations will be loud, more polluted, hotter during the summer months. The distance away from residences and business
will not encourage people to take the train and walk. The West extension should continue on Van Buren St. To 27th Ave north then be
aligned on McDowell road west. Placing it on Mcdowell makes much more sense because Mcdowell has housing, grocery, businesses,
schools, lodging. Placing the alignment on the I-10 would disincentivize use and not be good for the long term success of the train and
its ridership. We should be thinking about best value of future impact of the light rail system. Dont make the mistake of putting the
alignment of a public amenity in a value subtract area when the value add could be much much greater in a place that will serve the
community much better. I am a frequent user of the light rail system and chose to invest & live in the Vanmore 1923 neighborhood
(between Van Buren & Fillmore and 19th Ave & 23rd Ave) because of the light rail future extension plans coming on Van Buren St
(although the extension has been delayed by years of the original plans). I grew up in Maryvale, know the area and what my
communities need/want. Its best to listen to and follow what the community most affected wants and it is not an alignment south or on
a freeway. Please do whats best for the future of this place and people.

119037056721 It would be closer for me on Indian school and won’t need to walk to central
119033481824 It would be good for people who don’t have cars to go down Indian school rd
119027310515 It would be great help to allow me to get to school on time if the I -10 west extension goes through
119011642391 It would be great if it went south to avoid disturbing van buren and those businesses.
119032557928 It would be great if the light rail was faster end to end :) I think the 16th ave north route would be too slow given all the turns
119037907417 It would be interesting how this would reduce accidents on Indian school Road I support this project
118998099697 It would be nice if there was a bus route on some roads that would take you towards avondale there are no accessible means to get
to avondale without a vehicle.
119037121143 It would be nice to have the light rail go down Indian school for better transportation
119013402534 It would be nice to have transit extend as far west as state farm stadium.
119038689438 It would be nice to use the light rail because the bus gets crowded after school.
119021427145 It would be very helpful.
119036393612 It would help more working people off Indian School
119034151911 It would save a lot of time for some people
119021227869 It would serve the valley better to extend the light rail to westgate since for the Cardinals game, desert diamond arena & tanner
outlets.
119038637231 It’s a complete shame that the state legislature has put the city in this position. I fully support light rail extensions to West Phoenix.
Although the 7th Ave North option would delay the project, I think it makes the most sense. The added delay could be time used to
work with local stakeholders on Van Buren to address concerns.
119007696120 It’s a mobile rehab and homeless shelter
118999943815 It’s about time
119005528768 It’s alot more convenient and transport is alot more safe for those who have no car.
119038039098 It’s an amazing idea to put light rail down Indian school. It would help out a lot of people with transportation.
119005536078 It’s closer to the house
It’s crucial to get as close to the capitol as possible, understanding the need to follow the new law. There’s so many workers in the
area. I would maybe include one more build option that is designed in a way so that ValleyMetro can build a station right next to the
capitol if that law is repealed in the future. Please don’t build the line miles from the capitol, ValleyMetro would be missing a wonderful
opportunity to connect transit to a high employment center.
119005540776 It’s easier
119005551553 It’s easier
119005539547 It’s easier

119005425818 It’s great
119037941215 It’s ok Indian school
119037304049 It’s time for West Phoenix to have light rail. I want light rail on Indian School
119037683928 It’s useful for those who don’t have transportation.
119037993751 It’s well past time for public transit options for accessing the concert pavilion and State Farm Field/Glendale. No reason we shouldn’t
have those options by now both safer and more environmentally friendly than driving cars
119038044881 It's a must. Please make this happen.
119034572717 It's a necessity to be able hook up with other cities
119026148760 It's a shame the legislature caused this reevaluation. I hope that VM works with capitol employees and the legislature to put up a fight
if this were to happen again.
119021231154 It's been a long time coming!

Any vote to "re-evaluate" light rail options is a slap in the face to constituents. I'm hopeful that the Phoenix city council members from
far-flung districts will FOLLOW THE LEAD of the districts most affected rather than posturing in their power and cowing to the State. The
decision to move forward is not "agonizing" - it's what absolutely makes sense and is best for Phoenix.

119037336605 Its difficult to reach west phoenix with the current public transportation system, the lightrail explandion is needed
It's disheartening to continue to see how much CapEx continues to change. May 2024 materials support that we have consistently
been advocating for rail on both Washington & Jefferson, North on 15th Ave to Van Buren. Now there's option for a 16th Ave South,
crazy. I also don't agree with questions 1 & 2. I don't believe an updated route for CapEx is necessary.

119037248532 It's faster to get to school and work
119021456885 Its great that they are expanding public transportation
119038001631 It's long overdue.
119037262782 Its more beneficial for real residents to use the transport.
119002354979 Its more important to get something done rather than make sure everything is perfect, this project has been delayed for too long. There
is such thing as too much community input.
119005382666 It's nice to have light rail
119037702195 It's sorely needed. Think how many citizens would actually visit their capitol if transportation were easily accessible. More interest in
their city's activities would occur.
It's time to move forward with this project--there is no excuse to "re-evaluate." I heard what Mr. Waring and Debrah Stark said at the
subcommittee meeting and they work for the city, not the state. Mr. Waring good riddance to our sarcasm and frivolity.

119032689239 I've worked downtown or along the light rail for 16 of the last 26 years. I have always felt that a light rail system that does not include
the Capitol Mall area is incomplete. City Hall and the County Seat are in downtown, and it makes sense to include the state campus
as well, if that is what the residents and business owners in the area want.
Jackson St is a high construction street with multiple business that could be affected by adding a light rail. All neighboring businesses as
well as our own are not in agreement of this move whatsoever. Van Buren makes much better sense as it is a big street with a high flow
of foot traffic. Jackson street is not only a road full of construction companies with big fleets and trucks that move within it on the daily
but there is a high percentage of homeless people. Any woman or person for that manner would not feel safe with this light rail passing
through Jackson. Honestly, makes the least sense of all. Please consider the best option which is Van Buren.

119021290796 Just a lot of unprofessionalism, I have witness, drivers giving attitudes. professionanism will be better overall in Arizona if it was actually
followed.
119036353721 Just continue
119019028615 just do a good job
119032115554 Just do it so that
118999660174 Just finish this, the West Line is critical and interstate is primed for it! dont delay this.
119037702978 Just get it done
119020646787 Just get it done! We have voted too many times on this issue. Use the route that is least disruptive to the homeowners/business in the
area
119038089308 Just grateful for you all for continuing to expand the light rail.
119020830630 Just hurry up and build it.
119038192706 Just make sure security is maintained
119037096345 Just moved here but inside school is closer to me
119003550019 Just that I hope the light rail gets extended into the west valley asap! go trains!
119019017840 Just that I look forward to the west Phoenix ext.
Just whatever you do dont choose a route that puts stations in stupid places next to empty lots and parking lots. Stations need to be
next to businesses and housing, real destinations. Unless theres some big plans set in place along jefferson st to redevelop and build up
to accommodate the introduction of the light rail line, dont choose the fuckin green option.
119032026398 Keep expanding the Light Rail in the best route to serve as many people as possible
119032449216 Keep expanding to the West. Anything is an improvement. I live in Surprise, but had to drive downtown Phoenix for work for years.
Now I frequent several restaurants. Driving to a light rail parking would be better than driving all the way downtown. I lived in places
with incredible mass transit by train lines and, unfortunately, we are SO behind.
119038505147 Keep expanding!
Keep funding west phoenix projects for public transit! This is one of the community that needs it the most out of necessity, not nicety
119006710386 Keep going WEST
119007261299 Keep it going west
119036403761 Keep it going west! Down Indian school!
119031964819 Keep light rail moving forward!
119036389792 keep LRT development at least as far as 15th. Ave.
Keep plans to expand the light rail. Any modern, large, and vibrant city has public transit systems that are available for people to
utilize. An expanded light rail provides mobility options for people who do not have access to cars and is a greener option.

Keep pushing forward with the multimodal efforts the city council, city departments, and advocacy groups have been championing.
What you do matters! And these projects are extremely vital to Phoenix’s continue growth and success!!
Keep the expansion. I thought light rail was a dumb idea as I live in Glendale. I've used rail many times since n it was expanded to
Metro Center. Great way to go downtown. Anything to take pressure oh I-10

Keep the light rail out of west phoenix. There are already enough accidents without the unnecessary traffic this will cause, as well as
attract even MORE of the homeless population. It would benefit businesses in DTP if anything for it to stay in those areas.

119006637466 Keeping it close to Woodland would be useful for resident use.
119032029682 Leave the Historic District alone. Since in general, southern Phoenix is more underserved, Green makes most sense
119005544670 Less accidents
119034097059 Less cars on road on Indian school, we need it
119005553366 Less complicated

119036262534 Lessen traffic on Indian School
119038553035 Let’s get it done. Keep the train on the tracks moving forward.
118998931038 Lets do it!
119014554281 Lets get it going on the fast track
119006143797 Let's get this done
Let's get this done. I went to a meeting about this in about June 2024 and this had broad support. This feels like groundhog day - why
are we reevaluating this again? Please stop the delays and let's get this done. Please move forward and prioritize light rail, walking,
and biking in the Capitol/downtown area.
119032100961 Lets get this done. Move forward now please.
119013389553 Let's make this happen!
119010791628 Let's move forward with the project.
119018262177 LET'S SEE AS WE EXPAND IF WE CAN EITHER GO ABOVE OR IN GROUND TO EASE STREET TRAFFIC.
119038684199 Light rail expansion towards west Phoenix is needed especially with all the new housing and people moving to this side
119038729945 Light rail expansion towards west Phoenix is needed especially with all the new housing and people moving to this side
119037331324 Light rail extension is vital to the success of our city. By proceeding with the project we have a unique opportunity to remove thousands
of vehicles from the roads. This improves our air, commute times and quality of life. I strongly support the CAPEX light rail extension and
10WEST extension.
119021213459 Light rail has been a great way to get around and I am very excited about the possibility of expanding further west!
119038036196 light rail has really improved Phoenix's economic development.
119038694546 light rail has to much construction
119000563292 Light rail is a mess. The entire system needs to be replanned. The disruption to traffic across the entire system is random. Engineers
need to figure out how to better trigger traffic lights and how to disrupt the light rail and car traffic. Do that before expanding the
system. That would be most beneficial.
119022994093 Light rail is a waste of money
119021492303 Light rail is an immeasurable asset to our community that creates a sum greater than its parts. We should remain steadfast in our
support to its expansion throughout the entire valley.
119011618649 Light rail is essential for families and communities of the maryvale, west phoenix areas where the main demographic is people of color
and various ethnic backgrounds. They deserve public transit like everyone else has.
119038051292 Light rail is faster on indian school rd
119036280546 Light rail is faster than bus on Indian School
119002418142 Light rail is important for the city the South option has the least impact on existing houses and businesses and the biggest opportunity
for much needed development in the Capital District
119010990563 Light rail is needed for the west valley.
118998860896 Light rail is needed. It should continue as planned
119021542620 Light rail is the future. Get it done!
119021590247 Light rail over any busses!! People don’t like to ride busses! Unreliable!!
119038079017 Light rail should absolutely proceed without delay. This has been promised to the valley.
119012645916 Light rail should be along the freeways to relieve the traffic that is already excessive.
119009973566 Light rail should connect to West Gate in Glendale.
119021595785 Light rail should extend to the west valley to support our rapid growth and support future mobility for national events(Super Bowl, Copa
América, etc etc)
119002178746 Light rail should go through the capitol on the 16th Ave north route.
119009496029 Light rail should go to Westgate
119019632350 Light rail sucks
119038689452 Light rail sucks and a waste of tax payer money
119004235945 Light rail to the capital is not worth the expense. Some sort of rail to west Phoenix would be more beneficial and have more riders. That
is what should be the focus.
119011492837 Light rail will be perfect for Maryvale and its citizens!
119031953706 Light rail would be nice in Maryvale
119019620328 Light rails attract homeless and make traffic worse in the area
118996234190 Light tail must continue and not buses to replace it.
119037869325 Lightrail on Indian School Rd is convenient for students and workers.

119038686282 Living in Central Phoenix I avoid heading to the west valley due to the lack of transportation outside of a car. The I-10 traffic is terrible
having a connection to the west valley would encourage people living the east or even in central Phoenix to visit new parts of the
valley! Especially to venues such as the State Farm Stadium or the talking stick resort Amphitheater
Living in the city of Glendale it would make sense economically if the light rail would extend to the Cardinals stadium. It would also
make traveling to West Gate more accessible to the public. The light rail already ends at metrocenter why can’t we just extend it
further into Glendale. It would build jobs and many Arizonians including myself use public transportation to get around the valley. It’s
also inconvenient to us when busses and light rails are late because we don’t have enough people working for valley metro.

119034131226 Love it
119011806657 love the expansions of the light rail system!
119001788674 Love the light rail and wish we had way more. Especially if light rail went to Biltmore.
love the proposed purple route due to its closeness with the van buren concert center. However the only issue is pushing back an
already delayed project. Therefore I went with a more southern route to effectively link the government facilities with the rest of the net
work. I also believe light rail is the most effective way to go. BRT or some other form of bus transportation is inefficient. The light rail
system has proven an effective means of transportation and economic development. I hope this mentality stays chief among the
planning team.
119021337585 Love to have light rail coming down Indian School Rd.

119005563465 Most convenient for everyone
119002315343 Most of our government workers need transportation options.
119016870593 Moving public transportation for the Capitol buildings to the purple line essentially makes them un usable. People would have to walk
too far in summer and they won't use it. A city should make public transportation THE EASY CHOICE. It should go RIGHT To the places
people statistically go in that area. Politicians should be applauding public transport coming to the Capitol. They should be using it
themselves. This should already have been covered months or years ago in the planning stage. This is a huge waste of time and
money to change the plan now for no clear reason.

119000444203 Much appreciated
119002233537 My concern is what is going to happen with the historical districts? It should not be affected since it is part of what a community is all
about. Preserving grounds in which Phoenix is to rise with protecting historical beauty communities.
119034128259 My daughter could get to ASU Tempe from light rail on Indian School rd
119034140246 My daughter works downtown and could just take the light rail off Indian School!
My experience with lite rail has been negative. Users seem to have become primarily the homeless. Few of the normal citizenry use the
service. Living near the lite rail, the impact on traffic flow is highly disruptive. Observing impact on business appears significant both
during and after construction. Many closings after construction has been completed. I see benefit only to those involved with lite rail.

My main concerns overall 1.no historical buildings negatively affected or demolished 2.that this gets built and put into service
both segments ASAP 3.that shade be an integral component 4.that businesses commuters residents et cetera have as minimal a
negative impact as possible during construction and operation 5.That the infrastructure is artistic besides the art elements
6.perhaps 16th Ave. N should also include a street for cars and pedestrians and bikes for connectivity not just for light rail 7.can solar
be included somehow 8.enhanced landscaping with trees etcetera 9.that the capital mall and bowling Plaza have a station as
close as possible for residents and workers to access these public buildings for example rallies 10.I hope this project leads to good
respectful economic investments and redevelopments and a rebirth of a healthy capital mall and adjacent neighborhoods

119037835604 My opinion is the track should stay on Jefferson the entire way to the I-17.
119037135810 My work location is on 17th Ave S, so I will be benefited if the 16th Ave S (Green Line) alignment is chosen.
119038356724 N need one to go to apache junction please

119038595905 Need more lanes
119038617419 Need more lanes
119017971724 Need more raised platforms.
119021321687 Need more transit police. Make sure clear paint lines to turn across train tracks and curbing is no needing repair. Recommend
reflective paint markers on where to cross tracks and curbing especially helpful for older folks. Issue turn lane on Central Ave. to turn
into Phx Art Museum. My parents popped 2 tires on 11/30/25. Other patrons and tow truck driver said at least 15 others had done the
same.
119020779652 Need protected bike lanes and ample shade. Need to remove vehicle lanes to also accommodate walkable and bikable safe routes
for vulnerable populations, since the intent of LRT is to serve as a replacement for automobiles, where we currently do not have
reliable transit.
119015832800 Need something coming out to about Dysart
Need to have a line going up to Bell Road from Metro Center, as well as looking to have a line go West to East from Bell towards North
Scottsdale. Traffic up and down the I-17, as well as East and West along the 101 is extremely congested. Investing in greater rail (LRT,
subway, or other) infrastructure is a MUST over the next few decades to alleviate pressure as the Valley continues to expand.

119000516452 need transit to the Cardinal's stadium and surrounding shopping area this would relieve a mass amount of car traffic.
119004231363 Neighborhood Ministries has been involved in this discussion and community activism for thirteen years. We own property impacted by

119001671600 No one visits the capitol other than protesters and homeless people. Let’s build west.
119037155394 no reason not to !! expand public transportation for all of phoenix; as a major city it's crucial to have a reliable and fast mode of
transportation for our communities.
119028377650 No the city of phoenix is one of the best city... (not legible).
119000755542 No to light rail expansion west. The light rail only goes to the worst parts of town except for small portions of route. Build light rail to
desertridge area or scottsdale.
119005544279 No yo Yelp people
119006476504 No, don't use after.
119005723195 None for Capitol District. Would love to see an extension in coordination with Glendale to continue from Desert Sky Mall towards State
Farm Stadium and Westgate.

Appendix A - Survey Comments

None of the three route options for the Capitol are good enough to invest millions of dollars into this. We should not build half-hearted
transit routes. Start on an alternative West Phx route to begin with (e.g. Indian School, Thomas), and in the meantime, lobby the State
Legislature to repeal the law banning light rail on streets next to the Capitol. We can scrap the I-10 West Extension idea but keep the
Capitol extension plan in our back pocket.
None of this dramatically helps me at the moment as I live on the East side of Metro Phx. Might possibly help in the future, since my
brother lives on the west side. However, I am concerned because I see lots of changes being made the last few years that really do
not benefit or even hinder me as a resident of Scottsdale.
119038697678 None, I will never use the transit system.
None. It has ruined my neighborhood between Northern/Glendale. Are you that stupid that you didn’t put a turnstile on it? That is
why you are losing money. It has brought homeless into our neighborhood, bedbugs in the cars, and irritating traffic patterns in the
neighborhood. You didn’t ask us if we wanted it. NO to all of it. Keep the buses. You don’t care about anything but money. You
have ruined Northern Ave east of the I-17 by allowing all the low income housing and methadone clinic. Put this crap in your
neighborhood. Put apartments in your neighborhood. You never ask what we want. You don’t fine property owners for garbage
around commercial properties or poor signage. Whoever the city manager is SHAME on you. Phoenix is a ghetto any more.

119037200093 Nope keep working on it
119035640361 Not enough info for capex I think Indian school better
119005933020 Not following through on voter approved light rail project is a betrayal for the neighborhoods in the CAPEX area and to West Phoenix
residents. The public won't forget.
119037138869 Not from the area but run it near neighborhoods
119037224183 Not really other than it's pretty wild to be the 5th largest metro in America with no public transit that serves the state capitol buildings in
2026 lol, over 26 years now and there still isn't anything, I appreciate that you're trying to get some things moving but the timeline is
hysterically slow. Let's just get it going already, for a metro of 5 million people our public transit barely serves a small percentage of the
population. I love to take the light rail when I can, but it's so rare it's justifiable because of how little it actually spreads out anywhere.
Unless you're going to and from within a block or two of the one line, it's hard to justify it. So let's' just move on with this project and get
it going. The west valley deserves public transit already, it's been closing in on three decades, there are not other major cities it takes
this long.
118996230277 Not sure it makes sense to bring light rail to the Capital. What problem are you trying to fix?
Not sure why we continue to throw so much money in an ineffective and high cost rail system. The benefit to cost ratio is so low to
expanded bus routes and would be so much cheaper and flexible with dedicated bus routes where rail is inflexible for future growth
changes. It is horrifying in the economy currently and predicted for the future that so much money is looking to be wasted.
Economic growth in the area of light rail is a mirage that with more economical and flexible alternatives would give you 4 times the
return on investment and growth in a much larger area. But hey, nothing says big city like expanding a financial albatross .

119006563186 Not sure. My main route is Van Buren which needs to be more frequent to downtown and around.
119021353992 Nothing at the moment
119038380736 Nothing to add beyond stressing the importance of having the light rail expand into the West valley.
119038619808 Opposed to light rail extension on Indian School Road. Will hurt small businesses.
Opposed to proposed Indian School light rail expansion. Loss of revenue for local small businesses during and after construction.

119038579658 Option one is the only option period. Option 2 will kill light rail for years in Phoenix. On behalf of the hundreds of Laborers and
members that live in this area we only support option 1 Period.
119007580584 Options school, faster for Maryvale, has its own lane
119002422447 Our city will benefit hugely from more public transit. I do not want this to get delayed, I want to see this project happen. Those I know
who live in the CapEx area told me 16th Ave. is the best for their community so that is what I'd like to see.
119028781758 Our light rail is amazing, a worthwhile investment, and must be fully supported.
119037250489 Our taxes should be going to public transit!!! This serves the community.
Our transit system NEEDS to extend more North. I love the current transit system, but it is extremely far from the majority of the valley!

119006566587 Pass more often.
119024529259 Phoenicians have supported extension of the Lightrail four times (Transit 2000, 2004's Proposition 400, 2015's Proposition 104, and 2019's
Proposition 105). Keep the project going!
119005918180 Phoenix city council should honor voters who approved this light rail project. Promises were made and should be delivered.
119020762712 Phoenix is behind the mark with transportation. Let's get msrk Light rail completed!
119020755183 Phoenix is growing and to be an equitable city to all Phoenicians we need to support light rail extension.
118997154093 Phoenix is in desperate need of better transit, and either 16th Ave alignment is a step in the right direction!
119020922063 Phoenix is one of the largest cities in United States and needs to move forward; must modernize to public rail transport like our Capital
in D.C.
119020742656 Phoenix is one of the least walkable cities in the country, which is infamous for not being walkable. We need to do so much more for
our public transit to restore our dying communities.
119038720729 Phoenix needs to expand its public transit system as it is a growing city
119037381389 Phoenix needs to move ASAP on the West Valley Light rail Extension To move the masses of people that Live there! Buses will not do
that job! Utah Transit Authority started and completed their RAIL & Light Rail transit systems that CONNECT the three major cities in the
state in less than 11 years! Come on Phoenix get the lead out & COMPLETE this badly needed light rail system. You have been working
on it for more than 25 years !! We NEED to Move MASSES OF PEOPLE,
Phoenix residents have voted multiple times to extend the light rail. City council should honor and respect the residents desires and
approve the light rail extensions. The city claims to favor multiple forms of transit so should continue to expand the transit network.

119025989867 Please add more bus routes, us who use public transportation need it!
119007281008 Please advance - this development is much needed for our city and metro region. I appreciate that the 7th avenue north option will
be close to the retail and small business corridor along Grand Avenue.
119035665505 Please bring down Indian school
119036380304 Please bring it down Indian School
119038051002 Please bring it to Maryvale
119037071954 Please bring light rail in Indian school ! I use the bus and need the light rail to move faster
118997365105 Please bring the light rail to West Phoenix. The South extension helped connect South Phoenix - please do the same for West Phoenix! I
live on the West side and feel a light rail extension to West Phoenix would benefit me and my community to help us get to places on
the East, South, and North sides.
119038692491 Please bring the line further west than 75th Ave
119020831484 Please build this extension!
119038666350 Please city councilmembers--move forward with this. Don't make an embarrassment of this city.
119015736102 Please co tinue expanding we need light rail and more public tranportation. Also maybe consider express routes that only stop at
major stops
119015108941 Please consider a transit option that does not have to follow street traffic laws. Something like the Blue Line in Chicago. It has limited
stops and is a QUICK mode of transportation. Commuters would benefit so much having an easy and efficient way to travel from the
far west to central Phoenix/east valley.
119026907766 Please consider building above or underground
Please consider continuing the I10 West extension along I10 until Central where it would turn south to join the existing B line. I think it
could use approximately the same amount of aerial as some of the concepts presented last time, and it would allow for grade
separation all the way into downtown. Sketch plan here: felt.com/map/Speeding-i10-West-qkbkG872Sum3kyV6GszijA? It would
alter the cruciform plan in favor of a N-S trunk line through downtown, and I think that would be a good thing: 1) it aligns better with
current and future downtown density and 2) it sets the system up for future inexpensive grade-separated service to Sky Harbor and
downtown Tempe. (more on that potential line here: jamesgraef.com/vm-regional-rail)

Please consider in choosing an option the overall travel time through the area! Reducing the number of sharp curves and turns onto
roads that would require clearing an entire intersection adds significant time to travel; for example, the tempe streetcar southbound
through tempe is very slow owing to the constant turns that are only around 5-10 mph. Faster travel times will encourage more ridership!

119032147746 Please consider making light rail go further to Westgate/Statefarm stadium.
119021257191 Please continue building the light rail to the Capitol and then west. As a city of Phoenix resident, I have seen how light rail is improving
transportation for so many. This is really needed ASAP.
119020700848 Please continue extending the light rail. It’s extremely important work for making life the city more affordable, sustainable, and fair for
everyone.
119017194232 Please continue making progress toward the much-needed West Valley—your efforts are greatly appreciated.
119021378552 Please continue the extension to the capitol. Arizonans have been asking for this for years. We want this to happen. As a loving Lightrail
user since 2015, please follow through and don’t reevaluate.
119020733962 Please continue the project and make light rail more widely available!
119021898505 Please continue this funding as a voter i believe in public transit being a way to help everyone.
119021653133 Please continue this project! We’ve been waiting for years for this happen. Thank you.
119038692421 Please continue this project. We need less car dependency and more public transit!!
119021149597 Please continue to fund the light rail!
119026121422 Please continue to improve car-free options for the city of Phoenix. Investment in infrastructure continues to be an investment in the
community at large.
Please continue to invest and believe in light rail, it is a shining example of how far our Metro has gone and contiyto grow and serve.
119021038284 Please continue to invest in public transit for ALL communities of Phoenix.
119037701874 Please continue to progress with this project so residents of West Phoenix have the option to commute to Central Phoenix.
119023157883 Please continue to support actions and funding for the light rail. We all benefit from mass transportation.
119035405720 Please continue to support the light rail expansion into the West Phoenix area. It is vital to support the continued growth and
development of our city, provides transportation alternatives to all users, and improves our air quality and emissions. Extending the light
rail to West Phoenix provides the first real opportunity to have a commuter rail-type system that will be beneficial for users and the
community.
119031641875 Please continue to use funds for more public transportation, Arizona truly needs it.
119020098046 Please continue with the Capitol Extension!
119037207529 Please do Indian school for work
119013554032 Please do no bring the light rail through the Woodland District. This would be very disruptive.
119004223749 Please do not disrupt the woodland historic district.
119017682630 Please do not extend to the West Valley! We do not want our need this service.
119014241052 Please do not kill the Light Rail.
119024550747 Please do not sideline this!
119033329906 Please do not waste the time and money that has already been spent to date.
119019481304 Please don’t reevaluate! We’ve waited too long already.
119038687733 Please don't abandon bringing the light rail project to West Phoenix. West Phoenix is in dire need of this service. This need has been
ignored for far too long!
119032027874 Please expand to connect the West valley to the east! I-10 is a mess and youre building all these homes and apartments and the
roadways are not expanding to support all the cars. Why does the train only circle Phoenix?!

Please let this pass. This will help more people get around the city instead of relying on their car all the time. This would definitely be
something that would help reduce traffic too, making car drivers and public transit users happy. Also, please get an extension that
reaches State Farm Stadium/Westgate. Whenever there’s an event happening there, traffic becomes a nightmare! When the
Weekend was here, I was stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours going to and leaving the area (4 hours total) which is NOT OKAY!

119020864347 Please move forward with expansion
119033526415 Please move forward with the CAPEX extension. Voters have approved it, it has been in planning for 10 years. We need better transit in
Phoenix now!
119038662800 Please move forward with the project.
119032404089 Please move forward with this project that has been promised and approved by voters and the community (multiple times) for the past
30 years. If the legislature wants to create laws to limit transit let them be the ones to go against the will of the voters. How can the 5th
largest city in the US not have a complete and usable transit system?
Please provide better transit options for State Employees. I think 16th Ave South would be the best option for State Employees.

Please quit stalling on this project and move forward, while accommodating nearby communities’ desires for this investment. Choosing
the second option sends a message to residents who’ve invested in their properties that they cannot rely on approved plans to make
their community investment decisions. DO NOT JEOPARDIZE THE PREVIOUSLY INVESTED AND FUTURE POSSIBLE FEDERAL TRANSIT FUNDING!
119002264789 Please reevaluate Indian School there is a lot of small businesses will be impacted and lot of local people will lose their job and
business. I-10 makes sense to move people from west to downtown.
119020807934 Please respect the voters who have repeatedly supported light rail expansion. The Capitol area especially has tremendous future
development potential to be one of Phoenix's most dynamic neighborhoods and would benefit from light rail. Do not re-evaluate or

119005553469 Reduce traffic
119021021571 Reevaluating and denying this project would be unfair and disrespectful to those who need public transportation and would benefit
from these routes. Especially when voters approved and now people who fear homeless people are pushing against it. Valley metro
transportation is and should be SAFE and accessible to all.
119033913980 Re-evaluating will help the community with better transportation and overall.
119021259157 Regardless of how things pan out, we need more public transportation options and not less.
119016491032 Regardless, the city still needs to evaluate high capacity and rapid transit. Ideally it would be great if the light rail had rapid lines. Also,
start placing exclusive BRT lanes near light rail stations to move people quicker. I cannot imagine traffic in 10 years if the city does
nothing in terms of rapid transit.
119016269467 Regular/Electric buses can adapt to the ever-changing traffic flow needs better than the 'light rail'. The cost on the electric bus vs
diesel is likely a wash over the lifetime of each type. The bus capacity to an area can be adapted to the area for special events. Stop
charging for the use of the current light rail and provide the 'security with supplies to wipe down the trains.
119021320691 Reliable public transit services are necessary for a sprawling community - please do not delay this project any further - the Valley
needs more light rail extensions to continue to connect and compete with other larger cities.

Grand Ave close to Downtown Glendale. Consider a route north along 51st Avenue to ASU West campus.
Service to the Capitol would be really useful to me. The route proposed in purple misses out on government worker traffic as well.

So far all the Light Rail projects have been a total disaster. They take way too long to complete, go way over budget and serve a very
small amount of riders so cost the taxpayers even more money to subsidize. Go along the current routes & see how many businesses
have gone out of business. You just need to improve your bus system. It sucks just like the light rail system. Maybe all of you should try
riding it back & forth to work to see how unreliable they all are. If you have to be to work on time, you need to start at least 45 mins
earlier because odds are there will be issues on your commute if you need to transfer or go more than 15 miles.

119038594025 So that we could’ve have better transportation over here in that area and go to the mall
119008696262 South serves everyone best
119020686038 Starting light rail expansion westward is important to the Phoenix community and economy. This is another step in making Phoenix a
truly great city people desire to live and raise families in.
119000585314 Stop
119038580507 Stop playing tracks and make them dedicated bus directions that only buses can be on and you will have better service at an infinitely
lower price. Case in point have you ever tried to get aStop playing tracks and make them dedicated bus directions that only buses
can be on and you will have better service at an infinitely lower price. Case in point have you ever tried to get out of ASU after a
football game, if you use buses in the same route where the tracks are, you would just add some more buses in advance to take up
the load!
Stop spending good money after bad ideas. Light rail isn't going to change a ghetto into Beverly Hills. Until you do something to clean
up the 'homeless', the area will still be a cesspool. It shouldn't have taken a lawsuit from business owners to force the City of Phoenix
Police Dept to enforce existing laws. How about you get the light rail to the stadium and event venues in Glendale first? I fully expect
you to do this waste of money project anyways since the vast majority of the City council are idiot liberals disconnected from reality.

119014147023 Stop stalling, finish the west line and capex ASAP. this will be a tremendous help for traffic in west phoenix.
119023402030 Stop this. I witnessed how many businesses were ruined because of the last construction. The light rail doesn’t even go to a popular
spot in the west valley. What’s the point?
Stop trying to gut funding/delay/avoid building light rail expansions when the city voters including myself keep voting over and over
and over and over again to BUILD MORE lightrail. STOP trying to kill transit building, we have more than enough highways. Phoenix
should strive to have the best transit in the country. Many people would take enormous city pride over ambitious priorities. We need
more dignity in our public transit networks. Also people do work graveyard shifts and the service should be 24 hours. Should also co-
encide with bikelane infrastructure that is physically separated from lanes and all that for safety. I don't own a car and I grew up here
and bike around. Why do cars have a higher priority than people? I feel like a discarded 2nd class citizen dismissed by my city I call
home, for what? For automotive industries/road contractors can overcharge and suck up my hard earned tax dollars for a city with
the most dangerous streets of any major city for vehicular violence. We have to do better than this for the city's residents that want to
live here with dignity, no matter their transport of choice is, wherever home/work is in the city. Downtown, sub-cities in the valley,
wherever. Many working people can save money by taking a dynamic robust extensive transit network, as well as better air quality
from having fewer cars on the road. My asthma would appreciate it too.

119021441940 Stop trying to kill it. We need this for long term growth.
119021455968 Stop trying to kill light rail. The people want it, time to finally follow through

119038328544 Thank you
119026607933 Thank you for bringing the light rail west.
119019618679 Thank you for doing this
119019481434 Thank you for doing what you’re doing! We want light rail in west Phoenix!
119002326556 Thank you for hearing our feedback about 15th Ave. north now that our historic homes are protected, the woodland neighborhood
will do everything we can to support efforts to move forward with CAPEX and I-10 West extensions. I like both 16th Ave. options. I feel
7th Ave. will be the most disruptive and the delay is not ideal
119006731725 Thank you for processing the project.
119037991639 That would be cool
119015874935 That's great idea
119032852388 The 16th Ave North option provides access to the Capitol District while minimizing impacts to the 2 Woodland and Oakland Historic
Districts.
119032866881 The 16th Ave South (Green Line) is the “Most Preferred” option, as it would minimize disruption to existing local businesses and stores
during construction. Many thanks!!!
119032861868 The 16th Ave South (green line) is the best option since it would have the least impact on existing local businesses / stores during
construction. Thank you!
119032864056 The 16th Ave South (Green Line) is the best option, as it would have the least impact on existing local businesses and stores during
construction. Thank you for your consideration!!!
119013735955 The 16th Ave South is the best option. Following Jefferson St west is a cleaner and more direct route west. Jefferson St is also very wide,
which leaves ample room for the light rail. The route extending north from Jefferson, running along the I17 access road is also very
direct and not only pares well with the freeway but provides less disruption to the neighborhoods as well as maximum access to the
system.
118998853102 The 16th Ave south option seems to look like it will flow more smoothly without many hard turns or stops.
119001362555 The 16th Ave South, mostly the red line on Jackson St line does not make any sense. Going through an industrial area? Why? 16th Ave
blue line makes the most sense to me as a person who lives near this area and sometimes uses the light rail.
119008786940 The 16th street routes seem as though they are, or could be, a single/shared track up until they fork off north and south. I think either of
those should be prioritized as it seems to be cost effective if they share track. In general, it would be nice to see express services on
the light rail. Even if it's during morning and evening commute times.
119034181272 The 7th Ave line will receive the most push back. The west valley needs transit projects. The other proposed lines are more likely to be
approved.
The 7th Avenue North option is a great option for the route since it will circumvent the immediate Capitol Mall area. If the light rail were
to proceed south on 19th Avenue, it would severely impede our partnership with the Governor's office and the Legislature. Our office is
on the west side of 19th Avenue and we and our members (all county supervisors from across all 15 counties) continuously cross 19th
Avenue to hold meetings with the Governor and the Legislature and other state agencies. It would also impede the ability and the
willingness for those from the Governor's office and the Legislature to cross 19th Avenue to attend/speak at one of our meetings. We
greatly appreciate the 7th Avenue north option. It would reroute away from the Capitol Mall area. Thank you

118996212657 The 7th Avenue North option will allow easy transfers to the Phoenix BRT.
119034301379 The 7th avenue route makes the most sense to me for going places. I like the idea of it going farther south but there is nothing really
along the worth getting off for. There are a lot of businesses that I personally like visiting along the 7th avenue route. Which could also
be accessed with the north option as well which is why I notated it as number two.
The area very much needs more access points. There are government workers and services there that no one can access easily.
119015784867 The best route is not even an option and that is Washington Street for the the entire length then it Ts to either direction.
The CAPEX project, particularly the 16th Ave South route, could have a lasting positive impact on the communities south of the Capitol
where household members are less likely to have reliable personal transport, opening up more work opportunities around the Valley.
119001492508 The Capitol District is highly congested now. It may be better off to go around that area with light rail ( not through that area )
119006738112 The Capitol District is in need of light rail.
119020623658 The capitol district is in need of much needed improvements and investment as a community point of pride. I was light rail extension to
continue and increase accessibility and future development to the area.
The Capitol District light rail project must continue. It must use the 16th Ave North option. Most importantly, it must travel faster. You
have to decrease travel times and the 16th Ave North option would accomplish this. Do not let a small group of homeowners make
the project suffer for the rest of us. Do not choose any other option beyond the 16th Ave North option. Thank you.

118998040246 The Capitol extension should be a high priority. The people of Arizona need and d deserve access to their state government via high
capacity transit. The I-10 extension, on the other hand, is a bad idea. It would be too distant from Maryvale destinations with very little
in walking distance and too much spacing between stations. Valley Metro should proceed with a short extension that stops at the
Capitol and build a different extension along Thomas Road to serve Maryvale.
119038201417 The citizens of Phoenix Arizona have voted to extend the light rail West to the Capitol and into the western part of the city four times.
We should not be deterred by selfish Republicans who think that the light rail would be a danger to the capital or to them.
119038679562 The city council needs to approve and move forward. I live near Central Avenue and light rail has completely changed life in that
walk shed for the better. Let's keep going! There is also federal $ at stake.
119033176743 The city council needs to listen to the voters that have already voted on this and not let political agenda. Get in the way of those
voices. Very confusing on how the city Council push forward with this project and now is back in a way after federal grants and
money have been already awarded, and the votes have already been taken. City Of Phoenix should not take a step backwards and
go back to the drawing board to try to figure out what we already have voted on. We should be proud to have our capital in our city
and there should be a way that the public can visit our state capital in a fast and effective way, which is the light rail and not just the
bus .
119020774651 The city NEEDS to follow through with the Capitol Extension. The city has yet to show that it can quickly execute bus rapid transit (which
is supposed to be one of the advantages of this transportation option), making that a poor alternative.
119037953573 The city of Phoenix must stay the course and keep its promises to west side residents by approving this extension without further delay
and moving towards a light rail extension to not only the state capitol but into Maryvale along I-10. We need more high capacity
transit in the west valley and light rail is still the only proven way we have done it in the valley, BRT is still an unrealized pipe dream (and
also just worse for a line that could generate, once fully extended out to 79th Ave, a high ridership that even buses can't keep up with).
Now is the time for real transit action instead of a million more unrealized plans.
119020804195 The City of Phoenix needs to follow through on what voters have approved. Spending time and resources on studies on other transit
options will not change what voters have already voted for--which is extended light rail service to Maryvale.
119022041902 The City should continue to invest and expand all lightrail and public transit options to provide service to all areas of the valley,
including the west and to the Capitol.
119021313162 The city should go ahead & complete what's been started.
118997795308 The community has already been asked this question in the past & from what I recall, the overwhelming majority favored the light rail
extension. When this extension was first proposed, many of us made major financial decisions based on the understanding that light rail
would be built along this corridor. Numerous studies show that fixed-rail transit increases surrounding property values and attracts
investment. Light rail through the Capitol corridor & I-10 must be preserved, it is more efficient in moving people & attracts the density
needed through these areas.
119003061779 The disruption of traffic, businesses because of construction and the attraction of crime.
119037741882 The east west transportation capacity in Phoenix is very under developed. I drive Uber and can see this is the biggest glaring problem
in the Valley. We need light rail on Indian School Road. It makes sense in that location because it could serve a huge chunk of
Phoenix.
The existing I-10 bus has an exclusive carpool lane and carpool ramps, bypassing traffic. It should be operated with all day regular
service and normal fares/transfers. For the new stations along I-10, whether it is light rail or BRT, they MUST have entrances with a direct
connection to the street from both sides of the freeway, allowing for a painless transfer to both directions of the intersecting bus lines. It
is really critical to get the connections right on a route that is on a freeway. The other way to do it cheaper on a smaller road is to have
the station on only one side but with a pair of bus stops and crosswalk with a very convenient walking route to far side bus stop. Do not
make any compromises regarding the transit connections because this is where the ridership will come from! Do not overbuild the
parking areas and use every opportunity to coordinate with phoenix to pursue redevelopment near the stations (making sure the
walking distances are as short as possible with new cut-throughs if necessary, and ideally as pleasant as possible! like less noise, heat,
and traffic exposure..). Finally, invest in high quality bike parking at every stop. It is space efficient and relatively inexpensive. A trail
along the canal along the north of I-10 could be attractive. The VTA Light Rail system Blue Line in South San José along highway 87
made the mistake of ignoring these best practices and it's barely used as a result. Really pay attention to the details and remember
most daily riders will NOT be driving their cars to the station.

119032561442 The fact that we are even having to responded to this survey is ridiculous. The mayor and new/old city manager are clearly trying to
stop light rail. It’s offensive.
119009507116 The fifth largest city in the US i behind in providing viable transportation to it's masses. invest in multi people transit more than in sing car
transit.
118997864026 The focus should be to advance this project so it can connect to the west valley later.
119034104616 The further the train goes the faster we can get places so I’m all for expansion
The further west and closer to the stadium district the light rail can go the more utilization it will get. If the light rail could run to Talking
Stick Amphitheater then to State Farm area, attendance for all events will greatly improve and help with reduced event traffic.
119006572573 The further west, the better.
119000380443 The general public does not need mass transportation to the Capitol.
119035401774 The green line has the least impact on surrounding business.
119035427810 The Green Line in the south is preferred.
119035436249 The Green Line is the best. I am working here most of the week. I will use the Green Line a lot.
119034167768 The green line is the prefered option.
119035618876 The green line option in the south is most preferred.
118999009366 The green line seems to offer the best option to move forward.
119007316349 The green line will affect our many client that live in the area, I think best is the blue line because it goes through what is the capital
and no other house/neighborhood districts need to be affected.
119038668380 The green rout definitely benefits me the best and I think would help bring people to the capital. Maybe when people realize it's a
tangible place they will visit more
119036406775 The I-10 Extension has been shown forever, get it built already!
119000751117 The I-10 is already congested with traffic on a daily basis. A light rail project on I-10 would make this issue worse. I am all for developing
a more efficient public transportation system but not at the expense of compromising the efficiency of freeway systems. I think more
driving lanes need to be added instead of the light rail on I-10. I live in the west side and do not want the light rail. Improve streets and
add express freeway bus routes with main hub bus stops.

119038035995 The Indian school project would benefit the West
119034142851 The Indian School Road option proposed would make it easier for individuals living in the neighborhoods around the line to access it
more easily than the I-10 option.
119037797817 The light rail expansion proceeding down Washington St. would greatly impact my day to day professional life. Our employer does not
offer free parking to the majority of lower end employees. Many of us must utilize free, on street parking in order to help aid in the rising
cost of living. Also, it does not seem likely that professionals will be utilizing this service as it is very cumbersome for people living in the
suburbs. And trying to live closer to downtown on a normal salary is not affordable.
The light rail extension along west I-10 needs to be built and completed as originally planned. The voters approved funding for this
route, and the plans have already been drawn. There is a huge vacant median on I-10, which is where light rail tracks are supposed to
go. It would be a complete waste and a major disappointment to cancel something which the public approved years ago.
119021692467 The light rail extension is needed.
119020018572 The light rail has brought nothing but problems in downtown Phoenix. With it comes more homeless. There is more crime in places
where the light rail is. Find another alternative.
119023268850 The light rail is a complete waste of the tax payers money!!! Didn't you learn the first, or even the second time?! End this project now!
You would serve us much better by using the money on more buses.
119013510145 The light rail is a disaster to the tax prayers and the businesses along the routes which it disrupts the flow of traffic. There should be NO
more expansions. It already loses money every that costs the taxpayers.
119000519767 The light rail is an unsafe and unclean method of transportation. Also it disrupts neighborhoods, traffic and businesses. With remote
work and online services so prevalent now why is this even needed? I live in the west valley and have not had to travel downtown in
years. If I did I certainly would NOT use the light rail.
119038717301 The light rail is not a future thinking solution. There are technologies that are more adaptable for changes in population.
119036091602 The light rail lines should continue to expand
119020693215 The light rail must be expanded inshallah
119002253522 The light rail MUST come with development without displacement. The money can't just go to developers while our people get
displaced for construction or gentrified out. The development process itself must pump money and economic development into our
communities including jobs and opportunities. You must protect the homeless community from being kicked out or further criminalized -
providing long term housing rather than simply displacing them. We also don't want light rail to bring more police - we do NOT want
increased policing as the police has historically harmed our communities.
119031474490 The Light Rail needs to continue heading WEST.
119038704700 The light rail on Indian school would bring so much traffic and income to the West Valley
119038079352 The light rail should 100% continue. This has been promised to us for so long. Light rail should proceed to the west as quickly as possible
without interruption.
119035091117 The light rail should give passengers easy access to the Capitol. It should also go west as planned to Desert Sky Mall.
119000851851 The light rail should not be expanded to the capital area due to the large number of homeless people that will get on the light rail in
this area and travel to other parts of the city. The city should consider adding an I 10 W. extension similar to like Chicago where it runs
directly alongside the highway. There has been way too much destruction of local roads for the light rail and it makes more sense for
the metro to travel along the highway similar to Chicago’s above ground train system.
119000402572 The light rail should reach maryvalle it is much needed.
119029412244 The light rail to go far west as far as goodyear. Also a pick up location from Buckeye.
119000870786 The light rail was originally purposed to move traffic to the cardinal's football stadium when it was first brought up for voters to choose.
But the city moved the light rail to east side of the valley and ignored the west valley all together. It's time to put your mouth where
your wallet is. And build the light rail to the west valley as originally purposed 20 years ago!
The light rail will permanently ruin accessibility to the many small businesses along your proposed route, during construction and after
construction. These businesses depend on their customers current bi directional access to survive. People with vehicles will avoid the
entire area during and after construction. Lack of access drives customers away, just like the East Washington extension did

119021238321 The light rail will reduce my commute
119037789588 The light rain only creates congestion, maddening intersections that require several minutes of waiting and store fronts that are nearly
impossible to get to at certain times of the day without multiple U-turns and general annoyance. The light rail creates too many hassles
and obstacles for everyday commuters/consumers and I can't imagine that the little benefit it provides for a small group of people is
worth such a hassle, not to mention the costs.
119018757719 The line should be elevated where possible to improve speeds
119010796716 The longer we wait the worse things will get.
119032797375 The Maryvale extension should service local schools, businesses, sports venues and neighborhoods. Running the extension along Indian
School Road or Osborne Road would better serve local commuting.
119034202494 The more it accesses neighborhoods on Indian school the bettet
119021171917 The more light rail in this city, the better.
119021614461 The new potential designs for the Capitol District shouldn't have changed. And I think there are serious issues with deviating from that
plan, and more specifically the rationale or motivating interests behind the change are suspect. With that being said, Option 1, or 16th
Ave North is the best route for Capitol extension. The only reason I chose 7th Ave North has my 2nd was because of the potential
along 7th Ave and Grand Ave for continued expansion in the future. Also important to note that I want to advocate for connected
and protected along the light rail capitol extension project. Washington is a very wide street that's accommodating to cars. With light
rail plus connected and protected bike lanes, we set the foundation for the transit oriented development that will sprout along the
extension.
119038662225 The north option will connect the most people (residents).
119012475975 The North options call for removal of up to 5 residential properties. This would displace long term residents of the neighborhood, some
who have been here for 30 years!
119021463061 The only way Phoenix can continue to grow and succeed in a world with a drastically changing public and global climate is to
continue to improve public transit. The improvement of public transportation needs to be at the forefront of growth and development
in order to secure Phoenix’s planned future.
119038008413 The option in purple of 7th Ave. may be too disruptive unless entirely grade is separated. That would get expensive.
119021231125 The people have made their opinion clear multiple times. We want rail transit and we want it yesterday.
119021464204 The people want this. Please.
119037703913 The priority should be accessibility to commuters and businesses, which running down Van Buren makes the most sense.

119021202964 The progress of this city I believe relies on public transportation! Every day more and more people move here and take the light rail!
The options we have on the east valley are amazing! Let’s include the west valley too! And access for our people to the states capitol
is something we should’ve had YEARS AGO!
119038674763 The project should not be re evaluated because Further delays will lead to increased costs.
119033381626 The project team is doing a bad job in this public process by hiding the most important information about the capitol extension
alternatives: the travel time!! The entire I-10 west extension is built for SPEED. Tell me how it will end up being screwed up by having a
slow entry into downtown...
The proposed Capital extension serves mostly existing parking lots and commercial uses. While the 16th St North option is the best
choice there, the line does not provide meaningful access for a large number of people compared to the additional cost. The route
should be determined by the best way to connect to the I-10 planned service that actually connects a meaningful number of people.
118998035016 The proposed route along the Woodland Historic District seems like an ineffective route for the CAPEX project, especially since it
requires VM to demolish historic houses. Additionally, both the proposed blue and green line routes obscure riders from seeing the
capitol from the train cars, and require more walking to reach the capitol building, which is a huge missed opportunity (but we all
know why that is). :-(
118998875768 The rail line has been great for my family to move around the city.
119021159539 The rail service is great, expansion would make the light rail much more accessible for myself and others who work and study in
downtown!
119001809531 The rail system was a good thought, but, shouldn’t have been implemented. it was easier before they were installed to get
around…these rail car systems are “very” in-the-way for drivers and companies, making more driving, costing more fuel and making
the driving commuters pay extra (while attempting to avoid accidents with rail cars and the pedestrians on them). maybe build these
“underground” like NY, Chicago, the U.K. in London, etc. oie!
119005564043 The shortest time of construction would be best
119002412239 The South route has the least impact on the community and when it's elevated it will go faster to Maryvale who needs it
119024449358 The State Capitol area is an important destination for state employees and many public events at the Capitol. A line there is essential,
preferably the closer to the Capitol the better. .
118996276685 The state capitol should be served by the light rail!
119003413117 The state legislators who killed the previous plan for light rail to the Capitol should be spanked and required to repay the millions of
dollars spent accommodating their toddler-like whims.
119020809644 the state of traffic in West Phoenix only continues to get worse and adding more lanes to the highway directly adds to the problem
and does nothing to solve it. Transit options via the light rail are the most effective solutions as the amount of cars seemingly grow in
accordance with a lack of viable alternatives for commuters who work in the city
119019715638 The streets in the above diagram are already way to congested and backed up ... putting in a light rail will further reduce traffic lanes
and cause more backups waiting for the trains to come and go. I don't believe it will reduce the number of cars on the road... except
if those cars diver to other streets.
118998813117 The studies keep support the obvious need for transit in and out of the west valley. This is the next piece to make that happen.
119025684362 The traffic is horrible going downtown. Coming from west valley to downtown can take an hour during rush hour.
119032520697 The traffic on 7th avenue and Van Buren avenues is already heavy due to commuter traffic and access to those businesses. Adding
train traffic/taking away roadway for tracks would harm the downtown corridor. The idea of commuting by rail is nice but it does not
replace the need to travel by car due to Phenix's heat and lack of convenient shopping and medical care. It take an hour longer
each day to use public transit than it does to drive or walk so it is not feasible to always use these services. I live off 16th avenue and
Van Buren and cannot see how these routes would not negatively impact my home life. In my opinion, the only reasonable option is
the 16th avenue South route or to wait until services can be matched to the reality of commuting via public transportation in heat
warnings and with an armload of work/shopping. I cannot even imagine adding being elderly or traveling with young children to the
conversation.
119034104787 The train going down Indian school road would help me get from work to home.
119020808747 The train should go all the way to the Capitol Building.
The United States' tenth-largest metropolitan area requires significant enhancements to its rail and public transit infrastructure. It is
imperative that we move beyond debate and proceed with construction. This endeavor is not solely for our benefit, but rather for the
welfare of future generations. We have a responsibility to address the shortcomings that have impacted the children of this nation.
119020058189 The voters have aproved this line multiple times. Build it already. Why are the Mayor and Council trying to thwart the very clear
preference of their constituents?!?
119016714473 The walk
119016715001 The walk
118998768254 the west extension is critical to combating traffic, the west extension will likely prove the MOST helpful to the system, please dont
delay/abandon this critical project which will enhance the entire system's helpfulness!
119038716093 The west side expansion will see many members of the community and is much needed. Traffic has only gotten worse and this
expansion will give West side Phoenicians another option to travel.
119020815500 The west side is severely underserved and needs an expansion. The capital district does have access to the transit system and would
not be suffering from a lack of transportation.
119038070031 The west side of the valley needs more options past 35th Ave.
119038706200 The West Valley definitely needs better transportation
119004221492 The west valley has been neglected and is underserved. Buses are not the answer or the equivalent to what the east valley has
received. The capital area is only necessary to get to I-10.
119038037496 The west valley is underserved! The light rail need to extend all the way west down the I-10 to Verado. The light rail also needs to
extend north on the 101 to Glendale and Northern. These are high traffic areas and the residents of these parts of the valley need to
be served.
119037284207 The west valley needs better transportation access. Especially along Indian school Road
119011969683 The West valley needs light rail.
119037286998 The west valley needs more help. A light rail on Indian School Rd will be beneficial to the community
119037564128 The West Valley needs more options for mass transit and easy access to both downtown and the East Valley.
119027781239 The westside of Phoenix is in need of the train.

119037666227 The westward expansion is necessary. The I10 proposal will benefit everyone in the west metro allowing access to downtown and
offering a point of decongestion of the I10. I live in south Glendale and wish we had access to the light rail system. This would make it
convenient and access able for me despite not being in Phoenix proper.
119038029872 There are two ways it can go and I think the first one would be McDowell rd as it goes Pima rd go up north towards Scottsdale to
pebble creek and can continue to verrado way. The second one should connect to from the state capital north i17 or turn up on van
buren and 7th to NW towards Glendale, sun city, surprise and possibly to wickenburg on grand Ave .
There is a great need for the light rail to reach residents in Maryvale. Indian School Road would be a perfect road to expand to.
119038054235 There is a lot of traffic on Indian school, and a light rail would help easy that and lower accidents.
119023745723 There is no need for light rail to the Capitol There is already a dedicated bus route around downtown Phoenix and the Capitol. Does
there need to be better mass transit to west Phoenix? Absolutely!
119007239760 There ok
119037960788 There should be light rail linking downtown Phoenix to the Stadium district (Westgate) in Glendale.
119021934512 There should be more affordable and accessible means of transportation throughout the valley!
119028360926 There should be more routes going towards West Phoenix towards Maryvale.
118999861467 These are all terrible options why did Valley Metro move on from previous alternatives that continued route further down Washington
and Jefferson?
119023247737 These options do not address the needs or traffic congestion in Maryvale. Indian School is the heart of Maryvale, I do not understand
why Indian School has not bee made a priority over the Capitol district area.
119005551949 Thhese projects when poorly planned affect lots of business
119021568072 Think it makes the most sense to have the train go nearest all the public buildings to help reduce traffic too and from
119034108156 Think it's good
119034133911 Think it's good to
119002504037 Thinks it’s good
119005545609 Thinks the option is best less space
119014539206 This alignment will make a faster route, it will be cheaper to do because of engineering being less problematic, is less disruptive to
homes and businesses. Best of all, it opens up the southern area to long needed development.
118997093120 This all highlights that the community was correct in requesting that Central Station be the hub to begin with. Van Buren serves the
higher population.
118998958949 This corridor has been more than thoroughly analyzed and discussed for MANY years, time to build it.
this expansion needs to happen and Glendale needs to stop lobbying against the light rail. I live near a stop and while the buses are
great, they aren’t fast sometimes or reliable. I can wait over twenty minutes just to get a bus with an “out of service” sign. the light rail
never does that and if it does, they tell you. the light rail is fast, consistent, and can always be counted on. any other alternatives to the
extension will not work or better serve the city. we need the light rail and we need this extension.

119021293692 This expansion of the light rail is vital to the pedestrian community of phoenix and has been long awaited!
119021239438 This extension is a must and needs to be implemented, do not let Phoenix kill this project.
119020732057 This extension needs to be done as it was voted on by people who live in and work in the city. By not doing this extension, it prevents
people from commuting effectively.
119021483014 This has been approved by voters multiple times. The legislature and the relevant government agencies have a duty to follow through
on the will of the people.
118996901947 This has been dragging on for years. It's absurd that construction on the Capitol Extension still hasn't started and now, one year from
construction and after countless meetings with the community, we are being told it may not happen at all or the route may
completely bypass the Capitol Mall. There are significant opportunities for redevelopment, urban density, and walkability in the Capitol
Mall. The City of Phoenix is at fault for area's continued neglect.
119038708785 This has taken too long and cost is going up. We can not lose our grant funding!
119019028234 this is a alternatives for serve west phoenix in the extension
119038675251 This is a great opportunity redevelop the west--businesses, housing, etc.
This is a much needed extension to connect the court buildings, offices, and parks in the Capitol area to the regional light rail system.
119032051573 This is a no brainer and frankly a must for a city with the size and importance of Phoenix. It is critical that citizens have the ability to
easily get to the state capitol building and the other governmental buildings nearby using public transit
119010824800 This is a no-brainer. Arizona is behind in rapid transit and the sooner we get to Buckeye and Glendale the better. It will help students,
parents, commuters and entertainment traffic. I have been in the valley for just over 20 years and can't believe it is taking so long and
has been up for so much debate.
118996487421 This is a waste of money, nobody will use this except transients. Reinvest the money to combat homelessness.
119033349087 This is an absolutely necessary step in the progress of transit to west Phoenix. Phoenix voters want this route. In addition, this route
provides non-driving options to workers of the Capitol district as well as opportunities for the non-driving public to participate in the
democratic proceedings of the Capitol district. Rejecting mass transit from the area tells the public that if you don't have access to a
car, you don't belong. We must bring light rail to the Capitol district and beyond to west Phoenix.
119014639051 This is barely considered west Phoenix. Let's actually expand to west Phoenix like up to 7th st and beyond. Better yet, let's go north too.
Why isn't there a better public transportation system all around the Phoenix valley?
119024008589 This is complicated. Sometimes governance is making the hard decisions but giving up the federal money was not very smart.
119020834457 this is critical for the success of our city and county
119037984866 This is good but efforts should be made to expand to Westgate that's more important
119017425721 this is great for the city.
118999251649 This is important for the people of Phoenix so please build it.
This is so needed to keep the city’s progress. Looking forward to the rejuvenation to these areas when there is public transit investment.
This light rail extension is necessity in order to create a more walkable, community oriented future. I wanted to live in a society where I
can afford to live in a walkable community without a vehicle, this would be another step in achieving that. I want Light Rail.
This light rail would be a great opportunity for many students, I know many students at my school who, most of the time, need to ride
hours of busses or walk many miles so that they can get home. This light rail will change many lives, specifically lower income
individuals who may not have access to convenient transportation. A commonality for those living in the Maryvale community

119021612657 This needs to happen, stop delaying and making Phoenicians vote over and over.
118997977517 This project is a critical piece of infrastructure. West Phoenix deserves long overdue connections to the light rail system.
119020779064 This project is desperately needed. It will be a great asset to the city and it's residents. As a state worker I can't tell you how many times
my colleagues and I have wished the light rail came closer to our offices. Please, do not take any action that would delay this
projection.
119038002502 This project is important for the future of transportation in our community and has been deeply researched and studied. I urge the
council to follow the recommendations of engineering and planning staff and not endlessly circle trying to find some other solution
that won't materialize.
119037274725 This project must continue. So many people rely on transit service, as well as last-mile options even when driving or commuting.
118997984331 This project needs to be built soon to help speed up the further connection to the west valley for I-10 West. Having a light run efficiently
on I-10 will be free advertisement for the people stuck in traffic in their vehicles
119022321595 This project needs to continue! It will provide reliable and efficient public transit to so many public servants who work in the area.
Please do not delay these projects further!!
119014767991 This project needs to happen. There is absolutely no valid justification for re-evaluating building this route, and it is thoroughly
disappointing that the City Council would do so.
119021120246 This project needs to move forward now. Citizens have voted several times to have lightrail extend west.
119020123615 This project needs to move forward. Why are we being asked AGAIN when the community continually supports this project? How many
times does the City need to hear it?
119003565606 This project needs to start ASAP
This project should be extended to the Cardinals Stadium. It’s important to have more public transit available to all the community.
119032478632 This project should not be "reconsidered" as that will lose federal funding and essentially kill the project. The voters of Phoenix have
voted for this extension and the light rail in general, and delaying or stalling the project to appease a small number of vocal critics is
extremely short sighted. We need public transportation or we will end up with traffic nightmares like Houston or Los Angeles. Now is the
time to invest and follow the will of the people.
This seems like a logical extension of existing service that incorporates access to some more places that people want or need to go to.
119021232885 This should be a top priority if the purpose of Valley Metro is helping its citizens
119002230241 This should have happened a long time ago. Maryvale has been ignored since it became predominantly Latino.
119023885385 This was on the ballot when voters approved this funding. Is is even legal for the City Council to change their mind after voters agreed
to hand over the money? Why works anyone ever spat a capital investment initiative in Phoenix when there is no guarantee the
money will go p the money will go where we were promised it would go.
119038533044 This will be very good for bringing more people into downtown without the traffic jams that occur regularly.
This would be a great option for people who work out west coming east the light rail on Indian school would make a big difference.
119037231154 This would be highly beneficial for the kids in High school who can’t drive or get a bus card for transit to school! Not only reliable for the
kids but for the adults who don’t have a way to get around! People need better options around here! Plus everything is about 10/20
minutes away!
119034053394 This would help with transportation and less traffic
119038634965 Through Indian school is faster and shorter!

119005548632 To be able to use it with the community.
119033505714 To best serve the residents of west Phoenix remove the Light Rail plans from I-10. Widen I-10 just like all the freeway widening going on
in the N/E valley. Add high capacity buses from the Park & Ride at 79th Ave to use the HOV lane on I-10 into downtown Phoenix. Use
the Indian School Rd Light Rail Plan into west Phoenix; through the dense population that would use it! This would also connect up to
the 79th Ave Park & Ride; giving people two alternative ways to access Phoenix & beyond. Also, freeing up capacity on the I-10. Not
everyone is going to the Capital. In future plans this could hook up with the Cardinal Stadium; traffic on the surface streets during
events is becoming horrendous & increasing accidents. Thank You for your consideration in this matter; from the experience of a 58
year long resident of west Phoenix.
119019838204 To eliminate bus routes that contribute to congestion and pollution, the light rail extension should allow for more frequent stops,
dependent on rider signaling.

119034236716 To stop traffic
119034631311 To stop traffic
119000796494 To support the rail line, a strong partnership with the City of Phoenix should be established to allow upzoning, increased density, and
enhanced walkability along the chosen route, even ahead of construction. The route should strongly consider grade separation from
the road to allow for higher train speeds between stops.
119013229355 To whom this may concern: Light rail development is a critical element towards alleviating the traffic congestion and encouraging
economic development within Metro Phoenix. The potential for delaying this project will have adverse affects to this community and
will betray the promise made to the west valley to bring light rail to their homes. I am 100% NOT IN FAVOR of delaying this project. I
do not want the potential for losing FTA funding for this project and starting the environmental process all over again. The time to build
is now. Sincerely, Michael K. Okamoto

119032407949 Too much tax payer money has been spent getting this project planned for construction. I don’t care what state reps say- most dont
represent Phoenix! Build the rail!
119005549165 Too much traffics
119013265952 Tracks should be split between Washington and Madison one way in each direction as far west as possible before turning north at 16th
ave.
119020839226 Traffic in the west valley is some of the worst in the metro and the I-10 is essentially a parking lot during rush hour. An alternative option
was needed yesterday.
119006573430 Traffic moving east to west need over under ramp.
119038526537 Transit is a must to keep Phoenix up to date and to get out of the car-first mentality that has crippled the valley for years
119021923532 Transit is absolutely necessary to expand throughout the valley. This is just the start of what the light rail should look like to continue to
grow at the pace phoenix is growing.
119021189564 Transit is desperately needed in the West valley for people who are disabled and rely on public transportation it is not always easy to
get to where one wishes to be. The West valley should be the primary focus the light rail and updating bus routes that more reflect
where people actually need service.
119021510948 Transit is for everyone, whether disabled or not. While most people I see every day seem able-bodied, I also notice deaf, blind, and
wheelchair users. Having ample, regular, and often public transit is the ultimate freedom.
119017408067 Transit is needed
119017469515 Transit needs some serious work. expanding the light rail is a start but it would be good for public transit to get some expediency on the
roads instead of getting stopped constantly by traffic and stop lights. Has there been any consideration of taking transit above the
roads to allow it to be faster?
119038648414 Transit needs to expand to include more light rail and reduced car lanes. Bikes should be a consideration as well with all new roads.
Not just painted lines.
119037583200 Transit should be supported. There is no reason the development of the line to the west should not be continuing.
119021462561 Transit to the Capitol District and West Phoenix is essential to keeping up with the growth of Greater Phoenix. High capacity public
transit will help reduce commute times and congestion in and around the city. Connecting the West Valley with the job opportunities in
Phoenix strengthens the local economy.
119003111610 Transit would be great, specifically along Jackson where it could use revitalization efforts. There are just empty lots there that can be
transformed.
transits take a fairly large amount of time to build. They make it harder for day to day vehicles to travel as well, limiting the areas to turn
into businesses, as well as homes. I live in front of a transit and it is inconvenient we have to do a u-turn to go a specific direction rather
than passing through. They also promote more homeless to be near businesses. The traffic that will be caused during construction of a
new transit would also be very large as certain areas with normal construction to back up a lot.

119034653917 Unless I have a job or real reason to be in the Capitol District, I don't really care if the train goes there.
119019200849 Unless the capitol district will be revitalized and gentrified to hold better housing, commercial, and entertainment options then it
shouldn’t travel in the capitol mall. The line will better serve communities where people travel through and get off and on frequently.
The line should extend through the i10 all the way to Glendale’s West Gate/Cardinal Stadium. This will get more people to take the
transit line when there are options of other driving where traffic is grossly and notoriously bad.

119013565972 Valley Metro and contractors have already put enormous thought and effort into The CAPEX project. It would be an extremely
wasteful choice to vaguely "consider other options" at this time. The purple line seems to shunt public transport off to the side and make
it difficult to walk anywhere after taking rapid transit. Public transport NEEDS TO go right through the areas people are trying to get to!
The blue route is reasonable.
118999911156 Valley Metro and the City of Phoenix NEEDS this extension out to the west valley. It will connect so many communities and I personally
know people who are excited for it to come. The Phoenix metro is severely lacking on public transportation options and this will be an
amazing next step to help expand the valley. We need more light rail lines! And commuter trains!!
Valley Metro has spent years building a world class transit system. Extending the streetcar into the Capital District should be something
the city is proud of not something to hide. Rerouting it 10–15 blocks away denies real access, especially in 110° heat. It sends the
message that people doing business at the Capitol are “too good” for public transit. Our leaders should champion sustainable
transportation, not sideline it. The streetcar belongs in the Capital District, where it can actually serve the people.

Valleymetro, should take the lightrail into Union Station in downtown Phoenix since amtrak is coming back to Phoenix downtown .
119024402453 Van Buren could add access to Grand Avenue, helpful for First Friday.
119024526176 Van Buren could add access to Grand Avenue, helpful for First Friday.
119024534978 Van Buren could add access to Grand Avenue, helpful for First Friday.
119037989682 Van Buren seems to be best you can go north at the freeway or you can continue west as far as you want to in one straight shot. You
have to make a lot of turns to get to Jackson and I think that would probably cost a lot more money.
119038673022 Very bad idea, will only create disaster in phoenix.
119038691115 Very grateful that West Phoenix will be getting the light rail!

119021763582 Voters have approved this multiple times, do not override citizens.
119020832669 Voters have consistently supported the light rail extension. We need more reliable transit in Phoenix and this is extension will offer huge
support for Phoenix communities.
119021136627 Voters keep telling you they want this.
119020893274 We absolutely need MORE public transit, especially light rail.
119026203312 We absolutely need this project to complete our lightrail system and keep traffic under control. We can't keep expanding highways,
and traffic is already too bad.
119020783867 We are so far behind. We need options for transportation to meet the demands of our exploding population.
119018194658 We can not delay on this project any longer, the longer it takes the more costly it is for the city and I don’t want to see The city waste
more dollars due to time delays.
We can't keep living in the past. Phoenix has a large population, light rail is the answer to parking & traffic. I have lived in cities with a
vibrant public transit system, my car stayed in my garage during the work week. For those council members wanting to kill the
initiative, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Are you thinking of the future? or your own pockets? Shame on you. Statistics show that once it
is built and running, increased small business and housing along the route happens. Pass the initiative, let's get the shovels digging.
We definitely need this light rail expansion. Other developed nations are connecting their entire country and city through light rails and
high speed rail trains. We're falling BEHIND and flopping in a VERY important industry thanks to conflict interests with airlines/auto,
however, we can and should pass this on a state/city level. Do what the people VOTED for. Let’s move to the future.
119038039030 We desperately need trains. Running the light rail down I-10 would allow faster speeds and require less land acquisition. Chicago,
Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Montreal are among the cities that have proven how effective this type of transit is.
119038688905 We do not need it in the west. It will shut down many local businesses
119002260650 We don't need Indian School to be smaller and is going to kill our business and he have to file bankruptcy.
119038621900 We don't want light rail on Indian School Road. No!
119010789636 We don't want to see any buses! Light Rail, or none. No buses! Buses cause congestion, clatter, and they are ugly on the streets. LRT
aerial guideway would add modern aesthetic element to otherwise bleak capitol district with 60's style ugly buildings and endless
parking lots.
119022239887 We genuinely need the city to put more time, effort, and funds into public transportation. Delaying the projects indefinitely until funding
expires will ultimately hurt the working class and small/medium-sized businesses. This even hurts the city's capital growth.
119020798250 We have voted multiple times to make this a priority. We need this extension and we need it with giving the light rail priority if we're
keeping it on the streets and need a way for express routes to reduce time. Don't scrap this-- especially as gas prices rise.
119025739369 We have voted on this. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
119020673100 We have waited for so long for reliable transit in the west valley. We've voted for this over and over. I picked the purple line last
because because of the delayed schedule but honestly don't care if you go with green blue or purple as long as we get the light rail
to dessert sky I want it done right safe with jobs for the people of phoenix
119000411781 We must continue light rail west to i 10 and out to westgate
119038270911 We must continue to expand the lightrail! It is imperative to connect more residents with resources, and to show the world that we are
a modern city!
119038635586 We must stay "on track" and finish what we started so many years ago. Light Rail is the best choice to the Capitol and to the Desert Sky
area farther west. Let's get going!

118997089858 We need a transit system from the West (avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye) to the East Valley (Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale). There are a lot
of homes and apartments being built and the roads are overloaded with traffic. As someone who used the Metra in Chicago - this
would free up a lot of traffic congestion and bring in money for the City.

Please upzone, particularly areS near stations
119020630665 We need more transit in the west valley. Connecting Avondale, Laveen, and tolleson to the light rail would help so many families who
live west and work east.
119020876428 We need more transit lines!
119020745960 We need more transit options and access. Cars are quickly becoming less affordable and we have to stop relying so much on fossil

119032117276 We need more transport between high traffic shopping, entertainment, and housing to reduce cars on the road. West Phoenix has
some of the most street traffic as people move to high density areas.
119021110891 We need more transportation. We are too car dependent. Better bus routes. More consistent schedule times. Bus stops need to be
taken care of and have shade provided. Public transportation is NEEDED. Light rail expansion is needed in the West Valley. Too many
residents & traffic in the West Valley.
119021140241 We need public transit. Phoenix needs more stops all through the valley!
119014360714 We need the capital extension AND we need to bring light rail to west phx
We need the light rail in west phoenix! We have always needed it to be extended much further than it currently extends to. Just look at
other world class cities that have massive public transport. Do it for the environment, do it for the people who don't have cars. We
should not need cars to get around. We need to take care of the planet and each other. West Phoenix needs the light rail.
119037287574 We need the light rail on Indian School because it provides more transportation access in the west valley.
119038064794 We need the light rail on Indian school road
119021565792 We need the light rail to come west - the I10 corridor commute is only getting worse, with no alternative to escape as the commuter
busses are stuck in the same traffic.
119001076921 We need the light rail to extend to the west valley not only serving I 10 commuters but also Glendale Community College, and ASU
West.
119037360515 We need the metro link in the West Valley due to all the growth and vehicle traffic is horrendous on the I-10.
119037175348 We need this for Maryvale

119020758860 We need to be building light rail at a faster rate.
119021554528 We need to bring light rail to west phoenix!
119021434195 We need to build density quickly to secure a strong economic future for Phoenix. Light rail would be a strong backbone for this
development.
119021509525 We need to build more lightrail to allow city residents to get around easier and will help alleviate some traffic because people are
choosing transit vs driving. I live with a bicycle and I am tired of the dangerous roads, forced car dependency is terrible. Health,
Money, noise pollution, and this city has some of the most dangerous streets in the country in count of traffic violence / injuries & death.
We need more transit and rights of way all over the city.
119037283737 We need to connect to West Phoenix. Indian School is the most feasible way to do it.
119013545719 We need to continue it down 16th and not delay the project
119032012984 We need to continue light rail expansion to the West Side and throughout the metro Phoenix Area. It is good for the city. Good for the
economy and good for our health as a city.
119021407800 We need to continue to expand lightrail as rapidly as possible.

119033359535 We need to get this going before escalation and inflation make waht little funding we have evaporate.
119032486867 We need to have as little of it possible in the road so that it can go faster and not have to worry about getting hit by cars. Also this
would not take away road lanes.
119021613800 We need to light rail to make its way to Glendale ABOVE GROUND! Stop putting these trains on the roads where cars drive!
119002328034 We need to provide clean transit into the Capital District. don't like 7th Ave. being messed up
119038501189 We need transit and homes built in the capitol district to shift it from a car commuter focused district to a vibrant community that mirrors
the improvements made to other downtown areas.
119020840025 We needed light rail to the west yesterday!
119021376316 We should be giving the public more options for public transportation to help support families who may not have a vehicle in this
growing inflation crisis caused by the presidents poor economical decisions. Costing Americans millions and causing a decline in jobs
available.
119022982562 We should continue building this project and stop the delays! Valley Metro is being used as a political football by people who do not
want Arizonans to have public transit -- it's anti-democratic and needs to stop.
119038590451 we should do it
119020787448 We should extend this throughout the valley
119023976101 We should keep the expansions going, they are good for the economy and help serve all residents

119019082281 We strongly prefer the 16th Ave South alignment. This route would: • Provide a straighter path with fewer turns, improving travel
speed and likely simplifying construction. • Follow a corridor with minimal housing and businesses, enabling the future I-10 West
Extension to continue toward Jackson Street—an area with vacant land, limited residential impact, and existing industrial uses. •
Strengthen the appeal of the southern Capitol area for investment, bringing much-needed economic development • Add a
second high-capacity transit option serving nearby neighborhoods, complementing the planned BRT line on Van Buren. By
contrast, we are deeply concerned about the proposed 16th Ave North alignment, which would: • Disrupt access along
Washington Street near Wesley Bolin Plaza, where 5Ks, parades, marches, and civic events are regularly held—events that would be
forced to reroute or relocate entirely. • Place the rail line directly beside Mater Misericordiae Catholic Church and the Woodland
Historic District, introducing noise and environmental impacts to congregants and one of Phoenix’s oldest surviving downtown
neighborhoods. • Overlap and compete with the future BRT line already planned for Van Buren. • Threaten businesses along
Van Buren with construction impacts—on top of the upcoming BRT work—and potentially cause long-term harm if road widening is
required.
We strongly support light rail moving forward! DO NOT DELAY what the majority of people in the community have asked for for years!!
119019033362 We take transit from the Encanto area to the ballparks. Thank you for finally having ticket booths that work and bring in money to the
city
119020823588 We voted for light rail expansion. Please stop delaying this project! Phoenix needs to accelerate transit option construction.
119025171059 We voted for the light rail 20 years ago and we are still WAITING!!
118999585234 We voted for these specific projects on the T2050 ballot. Understand the legislature enacted a barrier; go around the barrier and carry
on!
119037081495 We voted to get the light rail to west phx and we need it asap
118997067586 We want light rail to run west on indian school rd to desert sky mall.

119037118694 We would like and support like Indian school because we need better transportation
119035650516 We would like to see the light we’re all go down in School Road
119004280719 Well done presentation!
119017826662 West District needs high capacity light rail system. Many in the west side of Phoenix and further west of Phoenix (just by conversation)
would take the rail into downtown Phoenix and further for their work. Busses take to long for traffic. Rapids do well but many do not like
being on the freeway and to many times waiting for a bus that has broke down. The Light Rail is more dependable and your
constituents get to their work or schools shopping quicker amount of time. For me I enjoy being downtown Phoenix but do not like the
drive with traffic and if I choose to have an adult beverage I have to take a ride share home with cost more more than taking the light
rail. Also to work. I am not sure about funding for this project but I am sure that extending to 15th Ave and stopping does nothing for
the West Valley. Thank you, Gerald Mills
119016838298 West expansion should head toward westgate. Anything else would be stupid.
119023105566 West on Indian School. It would be more better for me. I use public transit always!
118996341963 West Phoenix and I-10 need light rail. Traffic is bad on the 10 and we needed this 10 years ago. This area deserves what we voted for
over 20 years ago.
119020810130 West Phoenix definitely needs a light rail will help out so much with morning commute traffic especially heading east on the i10
119021472717 West Phoenix does need rail train since alot of people have
West Phoenix feels disconnected from Phoenix if you do not have a car, making it difficult for people on lower economic statuses.
119020732827 West Phoenix has been growing rapidly, and very much needs more transit options as soon as possible to reduce car dependency in
the area.
119021454204 West Phoenix has been struggling with tourism due to Phoenicians lack of transportation. More than that, the light rail will be a boost in
future economic growth for the city and its people. This also reduces pollution, traffic on freeways, less accidents, which snowballs into
more money to be spent elsewhere. The more opportunities there are in public transportation the happier Phoenicians will be. By
investing in the light rail expansion, you will give Phoenicians an opportunity to become proud of Phoenix again which in turn makes
them more likely to spend their dollars here than elsewhere on vacation. Investing in Phoenix will only put more dollars in your pockets.
Phoenix is a rising star and if you invest now, you’ll see returns in the tenfold. Imagine hosting more super bowls here and then having
the extra transportation to handle the extra crowds. The freeways were a nightmare for the Charlie Kirk crowd and it’s always a
nightmare during cardinals games. I personally attended more diamondbacks games I have ever attended in my 12+ years living here
due to the fact that I was close to the light rail in Tempe. I even purchased season tickets! But now that I’ve moved to west Phoenix ,
I’ve only attended one cardinals game and I hated the experience driving there. I was late to the game despite leaving on time
because traffic was terrible and the signs directing traffic were not clear.
119020505562 West Phoenix has waited long enough for frequent, dependable, and equitable public transit. This extension is a promise, a necessity,
and an investment in a healthier, safer, and more sustainable city.
119038683209 West Phoenix is already cluttered with traffic. A train is going to be worse.
119024105688 West phoenix is always ignored even though we have the worst commuting traffic issues. I live in Surprise and work as a nurse
downtown. We have 2 buses that leave and return about the same time. Ridiculous! We are so far behind other major cities when it
comes to public transportation. Our elected officials need to get it together! They'll consider a light rail to Tucson but leave the West
valley stranded. Thanks for your time.
119020821159 West Phoenix is expansive and needs basic light rail infrastructure
119009876037 West Phoenix is needed
119038684665 West Phoenix is often forgotten and this is an area that would really benefit from having a light rail transportation. Some people who
live here have never even seen downtown Phoenix because they don't have the means or any part of Phoenix except their own
neighborhood
119005462898 West Phoenix is very congested. Public transit will not take away the amount of vehicles on the road. It will simply slow traffic. Cause
increased congestion. And enhance the already dangerous intersections in West Phoenix 75th and Indian School, 59th and Thomas to
name a few very dangerous interactions.

119015839902 West Phoenix needs transit options over downtown
119037145893 West Phoenix residents deserve access to the light rail just as much as anyone else in the city. It’s time to stop delaying something our
community has supported time after time
119021485918 West Phoenix would greatly benefit from the expansion of public transportation. The more we invest in the infrastructure the better for
everyone. Traffic is out of hand, we need more options.
119038694970 West Phoenix would really benefit from having a light rail.
119038695251 West Phoenix, specifically Glendale and Avondale area NEEDS a light rail for faster and more efficient transportation! I suck at driving
but all my family lives West of the I-17 and I live downtown, so to get to them via light rail would be amazing!
119013619506 West Phx NEEDS LIGHT RAIL! With the huge amount of attractions and residents and commuters in west phx such as Talking Stick, Desert
Sky mall, we need an alternate mode of transportation because I10 W congestion is unbearable.
119038703194 West valley needs transportation. Downtown is good only for tourists to see the Capitol.
118998701926 Westgate has been repeatedly called as a destination for transit, but is not connect because Glendale doesn't permit rail. Get
Glendale back on board and this will cut down the traffic congestion that Westgate experiences during events.
119032423489 We've voted for light rail 4 times. It's time - we have a plan, we have federal funding, the residents want it and need it. The area in the
capital mall and West Phoenix need the econcomic development. There's no reason not to move forward.
119002933123 What about an Express line with limited stops to the west and back, running in the middle of the I10 like Chicago's
WHAT IS THE DECISION FOR CROSSING THE TRACKS AT VAN BUREN AND 19TH AVE? CHEAPEST ALTERNATIVE! NO RE-EVALUATION!
119033414551 What will change
119013580676 Whatever option better serves current or previously underserved communities!
119028474530 What's the capacity?
119001340455 When extending the light rail routes, public services should be connected first to give the most amount of citizens access to public
necessities. Once this is done routes should be built along side busy streets or streets with new development. Public transit must be used
as a tool to revitalize areas or spur development in new areas. Eventually it would be beneficial to connect less affluent communities
to the downtown routes. A future route should be built along Baseline to allow anyone in Southern Phoenix to access the downtown
services.
119011808550 When finished, it will be good for downtown Phoenix.
119023191706 When would construction on this project begin? I work for a business on 17th Avenue & Van Buren and am very curious about the time
frame
119004806839 When/if the light rail is designed to run adjacent to the Interstate 17, I hope that Valley Metro takes into consideration that the entirety
of the I-17 south of the Mini Stack will need to be widened to allow for an upcoming freeway interchange beginning the new SR30
freeway at the Durango Curve. It would be terrible to built the light rail and then immediately have to close sections for construction
when they demolish old overpasses.
118999757265 Where does the push for extending the light rail come from? Has the alternative option of having a separate light rail route—
connected to the current routes/system via a Capitol/downtown streetcar route— been considered? Concerns behind this are a
monocentric transit system.
119009864852 Whichever line will make the west extension faster and pass through the most government buildings towards downtown would be
beneficial.
While I believe that public transportation is valuable and necessary I do not believe that the light rail has proven itself to be the best
option. As technology speeds forward I believe new solutions that have far less impact and restrictions for growth and modifications
without major financial investments will become available (ex. driverless busses, ride shares). I am hopefully that with all of the
evaluations and feedback those in decision making roles will make choices for the future and pause the current proposed options in
favor of a more sustainable and flexible option with less infrastructure impacts. Thank you for your request for input.
119006577309 While the light rail may be considered mass transit, it is not rapid transit and does not save much time over taking the bus.
119019809582 Who needs extension to the Capitol? It is Courthouses, which need to be reachable. The red vertical line on the map above on the
left: which street is that? VM does not bother to say. I actually came here to comment on updated schedule because I heard many
announcements on buses, but I don't see any such links. This degenerate window I am typing into moves off screen on the left and on
the right and I don't know what I am typing. Like everything else VM ever did, the crackheads are in control and never once did
anything right.
119020533538 Why are we evaluating yet again?
Why are we even discussing not doing this?!?! As a Phoenix Resident I have voted FOR light rail several times now. We are the 5th
largest city and must have a robust public transit network if we want to continue to attract companies/workers and our future.

119014332744 Why can't the route go west on both Washington and Jefferson to 16th Ave and then turn north? Also, I think it would be better to re-
evaluate options to serve west Phoenix. I'm assuming serving Desert Sky to Downtown Phoenix was designed back in the day with
commuters in mind. Post-pandemic, is the demand for riders sufficient on this corridor? Perhaps connecting with the A Line some
other way where light rail travels where people live. The 7th Ave option does that to a degree, but I'm just not a fan of the route taking
Washington and Jefferson west to 4th Ave then go south, then go north again. The 16th Ave south option is the worst I think as it
would bring travelers south to then go north and I just don't think there's people or businesses to benefit from light rail in that area. If
these plans are to continue with these options, I think light rail should travel on both Washington and Jefferson, then connect with 7th
Ave option or 16th Ave north option.
119021299817 Why do we have to pay for the bus or light rail.
119023335249 Why do we keep endorsing freeway expansions instead of investing in public transit options like the light rail?
Why is it after the Diamond Back games the light rail conveniently breaks down. We pay for round trip tickets but are forced to call an
Uber to take us home. We should get refunded for half of the amount of the ticket cost. Also, the light rail often breaks down from
central Phoenix to Tempe during the week. My husband gave up and now drives to work again. It’s Frustrating because the light rail is
not reliable. These are the times I miss living in L.A. They have a beautifully run public transportation system unlike Phoenix.

119015743161 why not use the existing rail that parallels MC85/Buckeye Rd. No need for lengthy costly disruptive construction along already
congested routes. Spur lines or bus transfers along stops. reaches much further into underserved west valley communities.

Will the west Phoenix light rail displace or impact local living conditions? I worry that it impact negatively if this is not considered.
119038721423 Will you expand to north phoenix
119018260532 Will you guys expand the transit in the future?
119019035527 Wish I knew when the train will arrive.
119032255007 With remote work widespread there is a reduced need for a transit solution. It snarls traffic and is a safety issue - re: train/vehicle
accidents. Getting to downtown Phoenix via vehicle is a nightmare now thanks to the light rail. Riding the light rail is scary with the
indigent and drug addled riders. A more robust bus system would better serve the community.

119038594881 Yes, extending the light rail to the maryvale areas will open many opportunities and we should extend it to maryvale.
119035648694 Yes, I’m in favor of the light rail running down in Indian school Road

119020774527 You better complete this project
118999415016 You need to build it now. It only will get more expensive if you wait. Stop letting a few people prevent something beneficial to the rest
of the community.
119020844427 You need to expand rail wherever you can. Transit here is barely usable
You should not put people in the position of losing their homes in pursuing an extension to the light rail. The affordability for people to
relocate from these areas is no longer available in Phoenix. Spend the money fixing the homeless issue and cleaning up the
surrounding neighborhoods so people feel safe using the transit options that already exist in the area. You have bus stops that people
can’t use or feel safe using because of homeless persons camping and taking over the area surrounding them. Revamp and fix what
you already have. Prove to the people that live in the area the inconvenience and loss of extending the light rail has value.

119000602183 You should work to expand high density light rail in the city first.
119023723966 Your map is incorrect - the Arizona Supreme Court is on the north side of Jefferson, not the south side.

Arizona State Legislature

December 15, 2025



Mayor Kate Gallego and Members of the Phoenix City Council
200 West Washington Street
Phoenix, Arizona 85003

Mayor Gallego and City Council,

We write regarding the proposals currently under consideration by the City of Phoenix that would
advance three potential light rail alignments through the Government Mall area. We are united in our
opposition to any new light rail extensions. Light rail is costly and inefficient; construction has risen to
$250 million per mile, while being used by less than 1% of the commuters in the valley. Meanwhile, fare
recovery only accounts for 7.6% of the cost, meaning taxpayers cover 90% of light rail expenses.

As the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, we also have a duty to speak on behalf of
our respective caucuses. During enactment of the Proposition 400 extension through SB 1102
(transportation excise tax; Maricopa County), our caucuses made their position clear on any new light rail
extensions:

"E. Tax revenues collected under this section may not:

1. Be used for any light rail, commuter rail, streetcar, or trolley extension." (A.R.S § 42-6105.01 (E)(1))"

Although the Capitol extension is not funded through Prop 479, we must rely on our member's opposition
to light rail extensions as reflected in their votes on SB 1102. We therefore cannot support any of the
proposed routes.

Sincerely,




Steve B. Montenegro Warren Petersen

Phoenix City Council
200 W. Washington Street, Suite 230
Phoenix, AZ 85003


Dear Mayor and Phoenix City Council Members,

We are state legislators who care deeply about public transit, including legislators who represent
communities directly impacted by the planned Valley Metro Capitol and I-10 Extensions. We
write to express our strong support for continuing with this project as planned.

Our residents deserve the equitable transportation access they voted for in 2015, and again in
2019. In addition, our residents have paid taxes for the last two decades knowing they were
investing in light rail for their neighborhoods. Advancing major public-transit investments like
the Capitol and I-10 Extensions strengthen connectivity, expand economic opportunity, and
promote long-term regional growth. Our districts include neighborhoods that have historically
carried a disproportionate share of transportation barriers. CAP-EX and I-10 helps champion
progress that directly delivers meaningful, measurable benefits to these underserved areas.


Reliable, high-quality transit is not simply a matter of mobility—it is a matter of fairness. It
determines whether families can reach jobs, education, healthcare, and essential services. It
shapes whether communities can attract investment, support new housing, and participate fully in
the economic vitality of our region. Transit decisions made today will define the opportunities
available for decades to come, especially in neighborhoods that have waited the longest for
improved access.


We appreciate the City’s ongoing work to evaluate transportation options and to plan responsibly
for a rapidly growing population. We also recognize that certain communities, particularly
Maryvale, have been historically underserved and face urgent mobility needs. Thoughtful transit
expansion offers a chance to correct longstanding disparities, support inclusive economic
development, and align public investment with the priorities expressed by residents throughout
the planning process.


We encourage the City to advance the Capitol and I-10 Extensions without delay.

And we remain ready to work in partnership with the City of Phoenix towards transportation

your continued leadership and for your consideration of the needs and voices of the communities
we collectively serve.

CITY OF PHOENIX
CITIZENS TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Agenda Item 7 – Draft
Meeting Minutes December 4, 2025


7. CAPEX Light Rail Options

The Commission received a comprehensive presentation on the Capitol Extension
(CAPEX) and I-10 West Extension light rail projects. Presenters included:
• Amber Williamson, Deputy City Manager
• Markus Coleman, Light Rail Administrator
• Jessica Mefford-Miller, CEO, Valley Metro
• Trevor Collon, Chief of Capital Development, Valley Metro

Presentation Overview:

The presentation included discussion on the significance and history of the light rail
extensions, route alternatives, financial considerations, community engagement, and
outlined two options for the Commission’s consideration:
• Option 1: Recommend a locally preferred alignment for the CAPEX project and
continue in the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Capital Investment Grant
(CIG) process.
• Option 2: Exit the CIG process and reevaluate other high-capacity transit
alternatives for West Phoenix.

Three alignment alternatives were presented, discussed and illustrated for Option 1:
1. 16th Avenue North
2. 16th Avenue South
3. 7th Avenue North

Each alignment alternative was evaluated through a multifaceted lens to ensure a
comprehensive understanding of its feasibility and impact. Each evaluation considered
the projected cost of construction and the availability of funding sources, including local
and federal contributions. Economic development potential was a key factor, with
projections estimating the level of investment and tax revenue each alignment could
generate over time. Environmental review requirements were also assessed,
particularly the need for either reevaluation or a full restart of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, depending on the alignment chosen.
Community feedback has also played a significant role, with input gathered through
public meetings, stakeholder engagement, and over 1,400 submitted feedback forms to
date. Finally, each alignment was analyzed in terms of its compatibility with the federal
grant timeline, particularly the need to meet the FTA’s Capital Investment Grant (CIG)
program deadline of April 2026 to remain eligible for funding.

The 16th Avenue South alignment was projected to generate the highest economic
return and had the second strongest community support. 16th Avenue North alignment
has the most community support of the three options but has the lowest economic

return. The 7th Avenue option has the least community support with the second highest
economic return. Presenters emphasized that the CAPEX project is currently in the
FTA’s CIG pipeline with a “medium-high” rating, making it eligible for federal funding if it
proceeds on schedule.

Public Comments:

Multiple speakers addressed the Commission, all in support of continuing the CAPEX
project:

Councilmember Ann Hernandez (District 7) emphasized the importance of fulfilling
promises made to voters under the T2050 plan and warned that exiting the CIG process
could jeopardize future light rail expansions. She noted that over $20 million had
already been invested in the project and that development interest in the corridor was
growing.

Ventura Herrera, Kaitlin Wright, and Michelle McCormick, residents of the Woodland
Historic Neighborhood, expressed strong support for Option 1 and the 16th Avenue
South alignment. They cited minimal displacement, better development potential, and
concerns that reevaluation of other high-capacity transit alternatives would lead to
indefinite delays or cancellation. They also noted that the north alignment would
interfere with community events and potentially require the demolition of a building.

Staff noted that over 1,400 community feedback forms have been submitted so far, with
63% supporting continuation of the CAPEX project and 37% favoring reevaluation.
Among alignment preferences, 16th Avenue North was the most favored.

Commission Discussion and Presenter Responses:

Commissioner Panaitescu made a motion to recommend Option 1, citing the urgency of
maintaining eligibility for federal funding and Phoenix’s strong track record in managing
federal grants. She emphasized that delays could result in lost funding opportunities
and that the city’s performance history made it a strong candidate for continued federal
investment.

Commissioner Douglas seconded the motion and spoke in favor of continuing the
project, highlighting the long-term benefits of light rail and the importance of connecting
transit to civic institutions. He noted that while construction can be disruptive, the South-
Central Extension had already proven successful in ridership and economic impact.

Commissioner Vallo expressed support for the project and the 16th Avenue South
alignment, referencing her community involvement and familiarity with the area. She
emphasized the need to move forward without further delay.

Agenda Item 7 – Draft Meeting Minutes
December 4, 2025


Commissioner Steinmetz asked about previous studies on alternative routes. Mr.
Coleman clarified that the Indian School corridor was part of a separate federally funded
alternatives analysis and not directly related to the CAPEX/I-10 West project. However,
he noted that Council could direct staff to revisit that corridor as part of a broader
reevaluation under Option 2.

Commissioner Perez-Pawloski noted her concerns about legislative interference. She
asked about what might happen if the legislature blocked the project after significant
investments. Ms. Mefford-Miller responded that while the project currently has a
favorable “medium-high” rating from the FTA, federal funding is not guaranteed until a
Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) is executed. Exiting the CIG process would
forfeit the project’s current rating and require restarting the process from scratch, which
could delay the project by years and jeopardize future funding.

Mr. Coleman added that while no federal funds had yet been obligated, the project’s
inclusion in the FTA CIG pipeline was a significant milestone. He noted it is important for
the City and Valley Metro to maintain the good working relationship with the FTA that
has been developed over the years. In addition, exiting the process would require
notification to FTA Region 9 of the City’s decision to evaluate other options if Option 2 is
selected. He also confirmed that the T2050 plan was built on the assumption of federal
participation and that failure to secure it could impact other projects.

Ms. Mefford-Miller further explained that Phoenix’s history of delivering projects on time
and on budget strengthens the case for continued funding. She noted that the project’s
economic development potential and ridership projections were strong, and that the FTA
had been engaged throughout the planning process. She also provided insight into the
national funding climate, noting the CIG program remains a priority in the President’s
and Senate’s budgets with a proposed increase in funding, despite the House proposing
a decrease in the CIG budget, and noted she is always cautious with federal funding.

Commissioner Huckins proposed a substitute motion to recommend Option 2, citing the
need for flexibility and the risk of legislative opposition. Commissioner Perez-Pawloski
seconded the motion and reiterated concerns about potential state-level barriers. She
emphasized that reevaluation would not eliminate the project but would allow time to
reassess a best path forward.

Vice Chair Princell asked for clarification on the role of the Joint Legislative Budget
Committee (JLBC) and the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA). Staff
confirmed that JLBC must approve station locations within the Capitol Mall area and
that ADOA has zoning authority in that district, adding complexity to any alignment that
enters the Capitol core.

7. Capitol Extension and 1-10 West Light Rail Project Update and Options

Light Rail Administrator Markus Coleman, Valley Metro Chief Executive Officer Jessica
Mefford-Miller, and Valley Metro Chief of Capital Development Trevor Collon presented
this item.

Deputy City Manager Amber Williamson gave an overview of two Options for the light
rail extension. Deputy City Manager Williamson shared that Option 1 was to adopt an
updated Capitol Extension (CAPEX) locally preferred alternative route and Option 2 was
to re-evaluate high-capacity transit options to serve West Phoenix.

Jessica Mefford-Miller with Valley Metro shared information on light rail ridership,
development, and return on investment, and the partnership with the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA).

Trevor Collon from Valley Metro gave an overview of CAPEX and 10WEST project
history, including feedback gathered through community outreach regarding possible
routes along 15th Avenue and 19th Avenue. Mr. Collon also presented detailed
information regarding the CAPEX route alternatives presented for consideration: 16th
Avenue North, 16th Avenue South, and 7th Ave North. He then presented an economic
development analysis and shared next steps for each route option.

Jessica Mefford-Miller from Valley Metro spoke on cost considerations and construction
trends in Arizona and the Phoenix Metropolitan area.

Light Rail Administrator Markus Coleman shared a financial analysis for CAPEX and
10WEST, including federal funding from the Capital Investment Grant (CIG) program.
He provided an in-depth comparison between the two options presented for
consideration and the steps needed to advance either option. Mr. Coleman shared
Option 1 would mean moving forward with CAPEX and City Council would need to
adopt a new locally preferred alternative light rail route from one of the following routes:
16th Ave. North, 16th Ave. South, or 7th Ave. North. He shared Option 2 would mean a
reevaluation of other high-capacity transit alternatives with or without the CAPEX project
to provide service to West Phoenix. He stated Option 2 would require updates to the



Attachment F – December 17, 2025 Draft TIP Minutes

Transportation 2050 program, informing partners and community members of Council’s
direction, and would result in exiting the current federal CIG program. Mr. Coleman
highlighted community engagement outreach and summarized feedback received to
date. He discussed the pros and cons for Option 1 and Option 2 and concluded by
requesting the Transportation, Infrastructure, and Planning Subcommittee recommend
to City Council to either adopt an updated CAPEX locally preferred alternative route
(Option 1) or reevaluate high-capacity transit options to serve West Phoenix (Option 2).

Patti Serrano, District 7 staff member, read a statement from Councilwoman Anna
Hernandez in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail extensions,
asking the subcommittee recommend to City Council moving forward with the light rail
project development through the Capitol Mall area by adopting Option 1.

Chairwoman Stark stated for the record that she received a letter from State
Representative David Livingston and Senator John Kavanagh stating that they stand
with the Speaker of the House in opposition to the light rail extension through the
Capitol Mall area. However, they indicated they would be amenable to a modification to
the route that goes along Madison Avenue and 15th Ave, rather than 16th Ave.

David Bickford shared that he is neutral to either Option 1 or 2 because he believed the
light rail should be extended to the Capitol but didn’t believe it should go along I-10.

Jairo Gonzalez spoke in support of Option 1 for the light rail expansion because of voter
support and concern for the potential loss of federal funding if Option 1 was not chosen.

Suzanne Johnsen spoke in opposition to the light rail potentially going down Indian
School Road due to concern for her business.

Ellen Frisby spoke in opposition to the light rail because of potential impact on her
business if the light rail went down Indian School Road.

Andie Abkarian spoke in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail
extensions on behalf of Downtown Voices Coalition.

Laura Wickham spoke in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail
extensions on behalf of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project.

Sterling Sourk PH spoke in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail
extensions.

Vanessa Y expressed concern about the light rail going along Indian School Road and
was in opposition to this potential route.

Andrew Parker spoke in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail
extensions.




Attachment F – December 17, 2025 Draft TIP Minutes

Errin Khav clarified that Indian School Road is not being formally considered currently
and so therefore is not applicable to either option. Errin spoke in support of Option 1
and against Option 2 because he believed the delay would jeopardize the light rail
expansion.

Jonathan Shewell spoke in support of Option 1 for the CAPEX and 10WEST light rail
extensions and against Option 2 due to concern for increased project costs if the light
rail extension is delayed and the possibility of jeopardizing federal funding.

Kyle Foxcroft spoke in support of Option 1 for the light rail expansion.

Jared Kluge explained his understanding that the discussion was around CAPEX and I-
10WEST and did not involve Indian School Road. Mr. Kluge spoke in support of Option
1 and against Option 2, however, he believed the route should have been slightly
modified to go along McClintock. He also requested for trees to be planted.

Patricia Jimenez spoke in support of the light rail expansion, but in opposition of the
light rail going along Indian School Road, due to lack of community engagement along
Indian School Road.

Ventura Herrera clarified that Indian School Road was not a part of this agenda item
and spoke in support of Option 1 for the light rail CAPEX and I-10WEST extension.

Chairwoman Stark clarified that Indian School Road is not currently being formally
considered and had only been discussed in other public meetings as a potential
alternative to explore if needed.

Ziyad Abdulmunem spoke in opposition of the light rail extension along Indian School
Road due to potential negative impacts on his business.

Michelle McCormick spoke in support of Option 1 for the light rail expansion, specifically
a route along 16th Avenue.

Ismail Abushanab spoke against the consideration to alter the route to go along Indian
School Road.

Nicole Sanderson spoke in support of the light rail expansion westward and expressed

locations for either of the 16th Avenue locations.

although the West Line has been mentioned because it is a City Council approved
locally preferred alternative route, it is not included specifically in Option 1 or 2. Deputy

owners’ concerns were addressed.

project.

billion in the federal government’s FY2026 proposed budget for the Capital Investment
Grants (CIG) program.

pursued without any changes considering that some Arizona state legislators are
unsupportive of aspects of the light rail expansion.

what the Arizona State Legislature may do, however he has not seen legislation yet on
it, although he had heard that legislation may be introduced to limit the City’s light rail
routes. Director McCune highlighted the Governor’s support of the light rail, which may
help prevent legislation being passed that would limit the project.

sooner rather than later in order to serve current and future residents and thanked staff
for the presentation.

influence the light rail route or stations if the City purchased property along the route

property or the right-of-way within that boundary.

minimize jeopardizing the project considering Arizona State Legislature opposition to

that are being considered, along 19th Ave and Camelback and one around Metro
Center.

made by the City Council, not just the Transportation, Infrastructure, and Planning
Subcommittee members.

including other Councilmembers whose districts will be impacted by the decision.

alternative routes around 19th Avenue and Camelback and near the Metro Center area.

however, she explained that staff would not be able to share an in-depth explanation of
alternative routes in a month’s time, such as cost, ridership, preliminary designs, etc.

Chairwoman Stark asked if a timeline and a budget could be provided to study
alternative routes and right-of-way.

being considered and that going with Option 2 may allow the City to consider alternative
Options.

Robinson seconded the motion. Councilwoman Stark voted yes for Option 2.
Councilwoman Hodge Washington abstained from the vote. [Note: Per City Charter,

affirmative vote.]

Chairwoman Stark further clarified that Option 2 will allow City Council to receive a
timeline and some background information on alternative routes to contribute to the
discussion in January.

Councilwoman Hodge Washington explained that she abstained from the vote because
she wanted to hear input from Councilmembers from District 4, 5, and 7, whose
constituents would be more directly impacted by the westward light rail extension. [Note:
Per City Charter, Chapter IV, Section 23: A failure to vote shall be entered in the
minutes as an affirmative vote.]

Chairwoman Stark noted that she believed Option 2 would allow for a more robust
discussion in January with City Council.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC

it is clearer what speakers are supporting versus opposing, when there are multiple
Options. Ms. Sanderson suggested that the City consider what additional assistance

could be given to small businesses, such as waiving parking requirements during
