Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa and METRO are joining together to throw a week long celebration of the opening of the new light rail system. The kick-off will be this Saturday beginning at 10:00am and going until just after 6:00pm. There will essentially be mini-block parties at almost every rail stop with food, music, vendors and light rail and urban living exhibits.
For the week, attendance is expected to top 200,000 with at least 50,000 hitting the streets, and rail on Saturday. Riding the rail will be free on Saturday.
WeKnowUrban will be in a booth at the Urban Experience Tent at the College Avenue and Veteran’s Way rail stop, just west of ASU Sun Devil Football Stadium. We’ll be conducting twenty minute WeKnowUrban 101 classes at the top of every hour during which we’ll discuss what “urban living” is, why it’s the way of the future, where the deals are (if any), and whether or not now is a good time to buy.
