RAIL: Getting On-Track in Downtown Mesa for Retail, The Arts, Innovation & LiveAbility

 


The future of lightrail transit for the Valley Metro Central Mesa Extension will soon be  NOW starting on Saturday, August 22, 2015 @ 09:00 a.m. 

The opening of lightrail in Phoenix three years ago brought in about 30,000 people. 
Stats like that probably are not going to racked up here on opening day, but the city Arts & Culture Department, NEDCO [Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation], The Mesa Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Office, individual business owners, and a group called RAIL are all on-board and on-track to encourage and bring more people into downtown Mesa with a no-emission quiet technology people mover: Light Rail
Don't want to panic anyone, but just wondering if there will be more riders arriving at the four downtown stations on Main Street or more riders leaving Mesa to head into Phoenix? 
The tracks run in two directions, right?
