On Closing METRO for a footrace January 20th, 2009
A Resolution of the ARPA Board of Directors, approved 2009-1-17.
On behalf of the Members of the Association the the Citizens of Arizona, ARPA opposes and finds it unacceptable to interrupt regularly scheduled rail service for marathons, parades, or similar events which transit should serve.
These events must be routed to permit regular rail operation.
(On 18 January, METRO rail service was truncated north of the McDowell station for a marathon until at least 10am — inconvenicing passengers and disabling anyone from using METRO to travel to the event.)
Position on Phoenix-Tucson Routing January 20th, 2009
(Regarding current discussions of Phoenix-Tucson regional rail)
Adopted by the Board of Directors, 2009-1-17.
RESOLVED THAT,
ARPA believes
- That the current UPRR alignment via Coolidge represents the most expeditious route to early implementation, and should be implemented and built first; and
- That the former Maricopa to Tempe alignment, to supplement future growth, should additionally be planned, but built after operations on the Coolidge alignment commence.
