would be best than the current proposition. If people really wanted DT Glendale to be served I think having the light rail follow Grand Ave. However going to DT Glendale was when I was turned off to the idea. I think Camelback in that region will suit it well. I like how the light rail would extend to Grand Canyon University. I agree about commuter rail, I'd like to see that in the large I-10 center strip I had Maryvale in mind when I suggested light rail on those streets.Ī Maryvale connection would get more ridership and serve the west valley mass transit needs better than the proposed Glendale route imho.

West Valley would better benefit from a commuter rail than this. After that, there aren't really any other roads I would consider an option. But again it's still pretty far removed from the current route. That place is a living hell to drive on right by the I-17. Peoria Avenue near the MetroCenter could benefit. I could see Bell Road benefitting from it but it's so far removed from the current Light Rail route. West Valley is entirely low-density suburban cookie-cutter homes. There is just no support for public transit of this kind. With that being said I don't think West Valley would benefit at all from it at this point. Remember Maryvale begins from DT Glendale (just south of it) all the way down to the I-10.

Thomas, McDowell, and Indian School would run through the ghetto of again more low-density suburbia. A better alternative is putting light rail on Thomas, McDowell, or Indian School, it would finally serve the west valley and I think it would have more ridership along one of those streets.įorget about light rail in Scottsdale, it would work well there but the plastic population seems to think it's beneath them.
