I think we need a new regional transportation initiative that plans for the next 30 years. I can find all sorts of pie in the sky plans online - but none of it seems serious w/o any funding sources. It doesn’t feel like 30 years ago when we had the current freeway system planned and being built...

I'm sure that Scottsdale has a stronger tax base but your point is well taken in that in Phoenix 'Public Safety' (which admittedly is Job One) takes a huge bite out of the Phoenix budget and I'd also assume pensions are a part of that.
But to neglect creating and maintaining good transportation bones is sad.
