Turning on 43rd Ave allows them to connect to Alhambra HS, which is nice. Most importantly though its the PHX/Glendale border, so the cities would split the funding.

When commuter rail happens there could potentially even be a multi modal "West Phoenix" transit hub at Grand/Camelback/43rd Ave connecting bus, LRT and commuter rail.

Valley Metro recently added a new possibility of using a combination of 51st and Grand avenues instead of 43rd Avenue. The route along Camelback past GCU would be unaffected, though.
