About the West Phoenix Light Rail Extension: The West Phoenix Light Rail Extension (WPE) is a proposed 10-mile light rail expansion that would connect west Phoenix to the existing Valley Metro Rail system. The proposed route would connect at either Indian School/Central Avenue or 19th Avenue/Camelback Road, then extend west along Indian School Road to 75th Avenue, turn south to Thomas Road, and end at the Desert Sky Transit Center at 79th Avenue and Thomas Road.
