With the Light Rail due to commence operations within the next 8 months and all of the related, "Transit Oriented Development" that will take place along the light rail line, the intersection of Central & Camelback could see some of the most dramatic changes to the lansdscape.  I happened to drive by the intersection today and noticed some of the Public Art that has been installed and then happened to read a lengthy article at azcentral.com about a Project being proposed near the intersection consisting of three 400 foot towers. 

If you have the energy, read the article at azcentral.com and then comment here at this post, expressing your feelings about the proposed project.  Would love to hear your thoughts!
