Side by side: living with light rail in Phoenix

Posted on 13. Nov, 2008 by Tony Arranaga in News

Light rail activity and excitement is building around the ‘hood in Central Phoenix…

While a new website aims to find people jobs within walking distance of light rail stops, Metro met with west valley residents, looking to possibly extend the line west on I-10.

And if that’s not enough for one day, I found a post on Planetizen which referred to an article in the Denver Post, talking about property values close to light rail in the mile high city.

The story talks about increasing property values around the line, in some cases dramatically, over a two year period. Meanwhile, the rest of the market saw a decrease in value. Here’s a link to the DenverPost.com article.

I had a meeting today and took these pics while I was out and about. The light rail pulled up side by side with me.
