Phoenix takes big step toward Scottsdale-style canals, but residents wonder
Phoenix takes big step toward Scottsdale-style canals, but residents wonder
Picture a canal. Scottsdale has the waterfront, Venice romantic gondolas. Amsterdam is synonymous with canals. In Bruges, they made a movie that featured them. Even San Antonio has a must-see entertainment district on its canal.
Now, decades after Phoenix's canals were built, the city wants in on the act. Mayor Kate Gallego touts how the city has 180 miles of canals compared to Amsterdam's 60.
Phoenix officials have spent years trying to bring their vision of a "Grand Canalscape" to reality, and earlier this month they took a major step toward bringing it to fruition.
