The first woman to ever serve on the U.S. Supreme Court recently passed away in Arizona. On March 26, 1930, this American icon was born in El Paso, Texas. She grew up riding horses and helping on cattle roundups on her parents’ ranch in Arizona. Although she was a good student, no one suspected that she would one day change the world. Her name was Sandra Day O’Connor. She would grow up to be the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court!
On January 27, 2024, service begins on the Northwest Extension Phase II that helps connect the West Valley to destinations in Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. The 1.6-mile extension from 19th Ave/Dunlap to the Metrocenter area adds three new stations, including the system’s first elevated station across I-17. Riders will be able to access a new transit center with bus connections and a new park-and-ride garage.
