And we approved two new high rises – the Barron Col- lier project east of CityScape and the Golub project at Second Ave. and Monroe, infusing more full time residents and energy into our city. CityScape also continues to thrive and with the construc- tion of 240 apartments atop the Hotel Palomar, believe it or not CityScape will be completed. And to top it all off, Metro Light Rail continues to set ridership records getting more people out of their cars and into downtown for lunchtime meetings, exciting Suns, Mercury, Rattlers and Dbacks games and a bigger and better First Friday scene. If you haven’t been downtown in a while, I invite you to check out the great energy going on in the heart of our city. Z Q Downtown Phoenix — continued from page 18
