 Northwest Extension Phase II Opening

On January 27, 2024, service begins on the Northwest Extension Phase II that helps connect the West Valley to destinations in Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. The 1.6-mile extension from 19th Ave/Dunlap to the Metrocenter area adds three new stations, including the system’s first elevated station across I-17. Riders will be able to access a new transit center with bus connections and a new park-and-ride garage. Public art adorns the stations, transit center and park-and-ride incorporating the unique character of the communities they serve. The expansion of service to Metrocenter supports the community reenergizing that is planned over the next few years.

Todays Thought

Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top. No wonder it costs so much.
