79th Avenue Park and Ride Goes under Construction for Upgrades
July 18 , 2005 by Kathleen GordenThe 79th Avenue Park-and-Ride will have additional shade canopies and additional closed-circuit cameras installed during a construction project that will last from late-July to late-September, 2005.
Transit staff will be at the park-and-ride on Wednesday, July 20 to explain the project to the facility users.
The project will be done in two phases effectively blocking about one-third of the available parking spaces. Bus passengers are encouraged to carpool to the facility; to find a carpool match go to www.sharetheride.com.
Other users such as carpoolers and vanpoolers are encouraged to choose an alternate meeting spot during the construction period to allow bus passengers the available space at the park-and-ride to meet their buses. For locations of other park-and-rides and transit centers; go to www.phoenix.gov/publictransit/bldgs.html.
