With the public transit push, why not get it operating and get access to the rail lines too? It's already there, just get it goin. You already have carpool/bus lots in operation on the outskirts, it only makes sense to use the other end of it.

Native to AZ and I can remember when they built park tunnel and connected I -10 to Phoenix. Before tunnel you had to take Van Buren or Buckeye Rd west about 10 miles to connect with I -10 to get to California. When I was a kid I -17 was the only freeway in Phoenix. It was two lanes north and south bound with orange tree in middle of freeway as a protective barrier, now they use concrete walls, lol.

I-10 was built to 27th avenue or thereabouts and opened early in 1984. The 'Stack' interchange and the section between there and east Phoenix (at the I-17 'split') was the only part of I-10 nationwide that had not been completed - that stretch of I-10 including the Deck Park Tunnel was opened to traffic on August 10, 1990, completing the nationwide interstate.

Phoenix has a rather large complex of underground facilities that often go unnoticed. I was privileged enough to witness these many of these locations first hand as a small boy. My father had what you would essentially call a "key to the city". Unfortunately, I cannot divulge any more information as to the whereabouts of these subterranean locations. Many of which are closely guarded secrets that should and shall remain a secret for the foreseeable future. Sadly, we just cannot trust the public anymore. Stay classy my friends.
