Light Rail? Fine. But Not Here
Business owners in Mesa, Arizona are worried that a planned light rail extension will harm their businesses if it passes through their street -- a plan they have been vocal in opposing.
"Main Street business owners say they are not against light rail, they’re just against light rail going down their street. First Avenue seems to be the preferred choice among those Mesa business owners."
"The latest public meeting about the future of light rail in Mesa, held at the Mesa Public Library on Tuesday night, brought a room-filling crowd and passionate concerns about livelihood and lifestyle."
"Tuesday’s meeting brought questions of how long construction would take, how much the project would cost and how shops along the line would survive during construction."
