New Release From Councilman Sal DiCiccio: Sal DiCiccio Addresses Council Decision to Explore Shifting T2050 Funds to Roads

"Light Rail is a boondoggle that costs far more than it's worth and serves only a tiny percentage of our population."</p><p>Currently, Light Rail transports about 1% of Phoenix's transit passengers. If completed, the entire expansion is still projected to transport only 3% of Phoenix transit passengers. At the same time, our dangerous, crumbling, and unsafe roads affect every single citizen in the Valley.</p><p>"Everywhere you go, our streets are a disaster – everywhere," continued Councilman DiCiccio. "Water lines are bursting, roads are crumbling, and weeds are curling over everything. We have to get a handle on this, and the longer we delay, the more this is going to cost us."</p><p>"All options need to be on the table – every expansion – and we need to move on this quickly," added Councilman DiCiccio.<br></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
