Phoenix Light Rail- Entering Final Stages

Light Rail Valley Metro Web Site Screen Capture

The last segment of rail has been added to the Phoenix Metro's 20 Mile Light Rail Line.

What began in 2001 is now entering the final stage- testing.

Travellers should be able to climb aboard by the end of the year.

For those who want details of the project timeline, go to Valley Metro's Site.

If you'd like to see the metro in action, check out their video page.

I'm quite eager to see what effect this new form of transportation has on our urban landscape.

I'm quite convinced it will have a dramatic, positive effect on nearby real estate.

----UPDATE---

There's a great blog about the Valley's light rail and it's the creation of fellow bloggers, Nick Bastian.

Take a look at www.raillife.com/blog ... It's a great guide to what's going on in and around light rail.

Nick- not a problem at all- I'm glad you're documenting what's going on with light rail. I'm venturing a guess that light rail will transform West Mesa- I can't wait to see how everything looks in the coming years.

Nick, Chuck - this is truly going to transform the movement patterns in the Phoenix Metro.  Good blog posts from both of you!

Kent- and we're getting closer all the time. It's going to be fun to see what happens along the route. I just had my first client request to find a home near light rail.
