Dont you need to acquire land to connect the PHX Sky Train from the light rail station into Sky Harbor?
Some private parcels along that route currently are being acquired, and we are working to relocate businesses impacted by this progress. The acquisition area is bound by 44th Street to the east, 41st Place to the west, between Washington Street to the north and the Union Pacific Railroad to the south. This station also will be what is known as a “kiss and fly” drop off point travelers are driven to the station where they kiss their driver good-bye and board the PHX Sky Train for the Airport. Passengers may even be able to obtain a boarding pass and check luggage, before taking the PHX Sky Train into the Airport from this location. The land around the train station at 44th Street will be planned to handle buses, shuttles, and private vehicles. This terminal without planes will provide a simple and less congested option to passengers and Airport employees needing to get to the Airport.
