   Why the light-rail extension in Maryvale awaits plan developments    

 

Maryvale Village residents, despite some development from the city in 2015, have been left waiting a decade for the implementation of a light-rail extension connecting the area to downtown Phoenix.

 

The proposition, which would extend the light rail to 79th Avenue and the Interstate 10 north to Desert Sky Mall, was first introduced in the Maryvale Village Core Urban Design plan in 2011 and now sits in limbo with Phoenix City Council, the state and Valley Metro.
