An Urban Design Team made up of local designers, national transit designers, and agency representatives, was assembled to develop a document that would guide the system design. In addition, a team of climatologists from Arizona State University researched the special performance needs of materials and cooling systems in our climate, providing input into the guidelines for shading and cooling devices, as well as a separate technical report. The Team worked to isolate the twenty elements of urban design most critical to the creation of a light rail system specific to this region and then developed guidelines for each one of those elements.
Construction of a habitat restoration project in the Salt River will begin in the spring of 2000 which will transform the riverbed to provide a variety of amenities including recreation opportunities, improved flood management, riparian vegetation and wildlife habitat.
