PHOENIX (AP) - The Phoenix City Council has voted to delay a planned light-rail line for west Phoenix.
Council members voted 5-3 Wednesday to use the money for street repairs instead.
The line was slated to open in 2026.
It would have continued the current track west on Camelback Road, connecting it to Grand Canyon University and ending at 43rd Avenue.
West Phoenix business owners argued that the line was no longer viable since Glendale voted down its light-rail plan in 2017.
The council last October voted unanimously to postpone a line planned to connect downtown Phoenix to the Paradise Valley Mall.
That line was scheduled to open in 2036.
