Scottsdale Area Chamber calls for light rail
Filed under: General, Business
Posted by: Lillian Wong @ 5:23 pm

The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce Wednesday voted to support bringing light rail or another kind of rail transit option to the affluent suburb.

The chamber’s board of directors approved a policy recommendation in support of some kind of rail transit along either Scottsdale Road or the Loop 101 Freeway.

The city of Scottsdale has opted out of current Metro light rail links between Phoenix and Mesa. The business group says that employers are worried about traffic snarls in Scottsdale and it hurts their ability to attract and retain workers.

The chamber is leaving the door open to various rail and route options for transit.
