Recommendation
None of the 48th Street station options meet all of the Valley Metro Station Addition Criteria Option A offers a technical solution
Option C is not feasible
Option A could be considered for implementation by Valley Metro and City of Phoenix in the future

Next Steps
Summer 2014 Additional technical evaluation of Option B and/or
other options in closer proximity to Disability Empowerment Center
Fall 2014 Citizens Transit Commission (CTC) Phoenix City Council Transportation and
