Imagine Phoenix in 2050
The city of Phoenix is about to begin a very important project and we need your help. Every ten years Arizona State Law requires cities to update their general plans. The General Plan provides comprehensive direction for the growth, conservation and redevelopment of all physical aspects of the city through goals, policies and recommendations. This document is intended to be both long range and visionary and to provide guidance for actions over a long period of time. This project will be broken into two phases. Phase I - visioning, and Phase II - policy plan development. Phase I will kick off on October 5, 2009 and continue through June, 2010. Phase II will begin in September, 2010 and continue through September, 2011. The plan will be presented to the public for approval at an election in September, 2012.
Visit the Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association calendar page at www.PhoenixCenral.org/Calendar.html for specific workshop dates. The boundaries of the Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association (Indian School to Thomas Roads and 7th Avenue and 3rd Street) is assigned to the Encanto Village. A schedule for all villages can be viewed by visiting www.PhoenixCentral.org/village.pdf.
A different activity will be held each month. At the end of each workshop, more details will be provided regarding the activity for the next workshop. You are encouraged to share this list of meeting dates with your friends and neighbors and ask them to attend. These workshops are open to the public.
At the first workshops in October, you will be asked the question "What do you value most about Phoenix, and why?" To help answer this question, ask yourself how you came to be in Phoenix. Were you born here? Did you move here? What attracted you to Phoenix? What keeps you here? What stands out to you as a special moment, event or feeling during the time you have lived in Phoenix? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! If you are not able to attend a workshop, please emai your response to planphx@phoenix.gov.
THANK YOU!!!

Phoenix Parks and Recreation Email Correction
You may have received two emails today regarding our fall classes and programs. These emails were scheduled to go out on July 17, 2009 and July 30, 2009. However, for some unknown reason, our computer program released them today! I am sure this causing some confusion.
The intent of the emails were to advise everyone that on July 17, 2009, the department will feature all its fall classes and programs on-line by accessing www.phoenix.gov.parks/ and then clicking on Classes and Programs. This would be a great time to review those programs and classes you may want to sign-up for. Then on Aug. 1 at 10:30 a.m., you will be able to register on-line for those classes and programs featured on our website.
We certainly want to apologize to our loyal users, and if you have any questions, please contact me directly at (602) 261-8606 or email Steve.Turner@phoenix.gov

METRO July 4 service plan
What
METRO July 4 service plan
METRO will run all available trains to service event goers attending July 4th celebrations along the line.
System capacity will be maximized. Passengers should expect crowds on board the trains, at METRO park-and-rides and potential delays. METRO requests that passengers be patient and plan ahead. Post-event, expect to wait in a queue line.
One line that can be completely avoided this holiday is the line at the fare vending machine with the advance purchase of the July 4th pass. Purchase this special transit pass by visiting Central Station or the Tempe Transportation Center through July 3.
Service schedule
July 3 weekend is the start of METRO’s service extension on Friday nights/Saturday mornings and Saturday nights/Sunday mornings. July 3, 4 and ongoing on weekends, METRO will provide service until past 2 a.m.
Although Saturday, July 4, is a holiday, METRO will run normal Saturday service. Additional trains will be utilized to support event traffic.
A detailed service schedule can be viewed at http://www.valleymetro.org/images/uploads/lightrail_publications/METRO_Rail_Schedule_07_09.pdf.
Phoenix event goers
METRO is a convenient way to attend the Fabulous Phoenix 4th taking place at Steele Indian School Park.
For arrival, eastbound passengers coming from the North or West Valley should de-board at the Campbell/Central Ave. light rail station. Westbound passengers coming from the South or East Valley should de-board at the Indian School/Central Ave. light rail station. Both stations are even walks to the park’s Central Ave. entrance at Glenrosa.
For departure, return to the station from which you arrived. If heading back eastbound, use the Indian School/Central Ave. station. If heading westbound, use the Campbell/Central Ave. station. Splitting passenger traffic between the two stations will keep shorter lines in each station’s queue.
For more on this event, visit http://phoenix.gov/parks/jlymain.html.
Parking
METRO park-and-ride lots are free to use on a first-come, first-serve basis:
Montebello/19th Ave.
19th Ave./Camelback
Central Ave./Camelback
38th St./Washington
Dorsey Ln./Apache Blvd.
McClintock Dr./Apache Blvd.
Price 101 Freeway/Apache Blvd.
Sycamore/Main St.
If any of the lots become full, please try the next closest park-and-ride. For example, if the park-and-ride at Sycamore/Main St. reaches capacity, try the Price 101 Freeway/Apache Blvd. park-and-ride – it typically has greater availability.
METRO and its city partners have identified overflow parking opportunities along the line for this date only:
Park Central Mall – Earll Dr., west of Central Ave.; designated “retail only parking” spaces
38th St./Washington – east of 38th St. and the METRO park-and-ride; Gateway Community College parking lot
Dorsey Ln./Apache Blvd. – north of Apache Blvd., west of Dorsey Ln.; behind retail building
Price 101 Freeway/Apache Blvd. – southeast corner of the METRO park-and-ride; accessible using the same entrance
Safeway – north of Main St., west of Sycamore and the METRO park-and-ride
East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) – south of Main St., east of Sycamore; use entrance off of Longmore
Notes
Event goers should purchase an all-day pass for roundtrip service. An all-day pass costs the same as two one-ride passes and only requires one visit to the fare vending machine. Platinum Pass/U-Pass users, validate before each ride.
