From: "Friends of Transit" To: Subject: The City of Phoenix is holding a news conference Wednesday at 10 a.m. to unveil the light rail concept simulation Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 11:35 AM The City of Phoenix is holding a news conference Wednesday at 10 a.m. to unveil the light rail concept simulation (video and still) and the video of local VIPs (like Luis Gonzalez and Lattie Coor) endorsing the light rail project. Due to the limited space in the mayor's press conference room, we have to limit attendance to those staff assisting with the event. However, we will play the videos this week for everyone to see. A light rail show, which includes the VIP endorsements, as well as the simulation and more information about the project, will begin airing Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on Phoenix cable channel 11. A news release with more information is attached. Daina Mann Communications Manager Valley Connections Central Phoenix/East Valley Light Rail Transit Project (602) 744-5592 291-RAIL (7245) cellular
