Jurisdictions across the country received their Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in two tranches and on June 8, 2021, City Council agreed to approve ARPA programming per tranche. The funds are allocated to transformational one-time investments that improve the prospects of impacted residents and address economic and social disparities that have continued and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The City’s strategic use of ARPA funding strongly positioned the quick recovery, and new investments will be transformational for critical needs around affordable housing and homelessness,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “This second tranche supports our most vulnerable residents and builds on proven success of creating a more equitable, sustainable, and promising future.” City Council approved the strategic plan for the first tranche of ARPA funds received by the City in June 2021.The second tranche spending plan will fund a total of 31 programs, including: <div> <div> </div> <div> <ul dir="" style=""> <li> $70.5 million in affordable housing and homelessness programs, <a target="_blank" href="/newsroom/human-services/2353">including a new shelter in partnership with Maricopa County located on 28th and Washington Streets</a>. </li> <li> $600,000 to continue the hotspot lending program at Phoenix Public Libraries. </li> <li> $6 million to increase tree canopy coverage and provide tree planting at schools. </li> <li> $3 million for shade structures in the public right-of-way. </li> <li> $2.9 million to improve parks with new playground elements and resurfacing of athletic courts. </li> <li> $7 million to continue the resilient food system programs that includes meal preparation and delivery, farmland preservation, food banks and pantry support, and more. </li> </ul> </div> </div> “The City of Phoenix is committed to being responsible stewards of the ARPA funding we have received, and we are diligent in tracking and reporting our efforts,” said Phoenix City Manager Jeff Barton.

Fabulous Phoenix 4th, Other Popular Fireworks Events Canceled for 2022 https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/parks-and-recreation/2381Parks and Recreation6/10/2022 12:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2381/Fireworks Fab Phoenix 4th.pngFabulous Phoenix 4th, Other Popular Fireworks Events Canceled for 2022 <div class="ExternalClassDFBD168E82F748029168FEF33F614C66"><html>The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department regrets to announce that its three premiere fireworks events have been canceled for 2022. Fabulous Phoenix Fourth, Light Up the Sky at the American Family Fields and After Dark in the Park will all be canceled this year due to supply chain issues affecting access to fireworks. As a department, we understand how important these events are to the Phoenix community, and we are disappointed that we will not be able to celebrate with you this year. “Unfortunately, much like many other municipalities, Phoenix has been affected by the ongoing supply chain issues. The City's contractor was unable to secure fireworks for the events," said Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Marty Whitfield. “We apologize to our community for the inconvenience." </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/parksNewsPhoenix Public Transit Receives Grant to Study New West Valley Transit Modehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/public-transit/2380Public Transit6/9/2022 8:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2380/Public_Transit_Newsroom_39.jpgPhoenix Public Transit Receives Grant to Study New West Valley Transit Mode<div class="ExternalClassD643DA18650A449C91224A490E56B135"><html> The Federal Transit Administration announced the awards for the<a href="https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/route-planning-restoration-program" target="_blank"> American Rescue Plan Route Planning Restoration Program grants</a> in June, and Phoenix Public Transit was awarded a grant total of $514,045. This funding will be used to conduct a west Phoenix High Capacity Transit (HCT) study. The study will provide a recommendation for transit modes that specifically provide a higher level of rider capacity and efficiency. Today, Mayor Kate Gallego and members of the city council expressed their support for this grant to examine transit in that area. “Improving access, ease, equity, and efficiency of transit for the people of Phoenix is a priority for me, and this grant will better inform our efforts under <a href="/t2050" target="_blank">Transportation 2050 (T2050)</a>, a voter-approved local plan for bus service, light rail construction and street improvements,” says Mayor Kate Gallego. “It would combine with Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grant opportunities and should escalate large and small T2050 transportation projects from plan to completion.” “This study will help pave the way for a greatly improved transit system in west Phoenix that connects our residents to better opportunities for education, employment and recreation,” notes Councilmember Betty Guardado. “Bringing more efficient and clean public transit to west Phoenix is long overdue. With booming population growth, we need a study that outlines how to best serve diverse communities,” Councilmember Yassamin Ansari adds. “Phoenix continues to head in the right direction by finding opportunities for high capacity transit options that support the riders who depend on public transit,” states Vice Mayor Laura Pastor. The study area will be focused on west Phoenix encompassing the Maryvale area from Central Avenue (on the east boundary) to 91st Avenue (on the west) and from McDowell Road (south) to Camelback Road (north). The goal is to evaluate multiple modes of transit, and how transit improvements will benefit all the surrounding communities. Background - In 2019, the Phoenix City Council took action to postpone the west Phoenix light rail extension, from 19th Avenue to 43rd Avenue along Camelback Road, until the end of the <a href="https://t2050.org/" target="_blank">Transportation 2050</a> program. This grant provides an opportunity to accelerate transit planning in west Phoenix. About the Phoenix Public Transit Department: The Phoenix Public Transit Department provides Phoenix residents a variety of transit options and is the largest member of the Valley Metro regional transit system. Services range from local and commuter buses to alternative transportation for senior citizens and special needs. The city of Phoenix funds transit, and other transportation improvements, through <a href="/t2050" target="_blank">Transportation 2050 (T2050)</a> – a local sales tax approved by Phoenix voters in 2015 – as well as county and federal funds. T2050 allows for enhanced bus service, transit-related technology improvements and fare media upgrades under the leadership of the Citizens Transportation Commission.
