Public invited to celebrate Chandler Park-and-Ride opening

CHANDLER, Ariz. – The public is invited to help celebrate the dedication of Chandler’s first Park-and-Ride facility.  A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for Wednesday, January 28, at 3:00 p.m. at the southwest corner of Germann Road and Hamilton Street.

Mayor Boyd W. Dunn will speak during the ceremony, as well the Executive Director of Valley Metro, Dave Boggs. 

The $6.4 million facility opened December 29 and supports express bus service to and from Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale and added needed parking spaces for weekend events at Tumbleweed Park.  The facility includes 445 parking spaces, plus passenger shelters, bike lockers, seating areas, lighting, landscaping, a drinking fountain, and security building. The half-cent regional sales tax approved by voters in 2004 that funds transit and transportation in Maricopa County is providing funds for this new facility.

For more information, call 480-782-3440.
