Downtown Phoenix has finally happened. Condo towers, restaurants, entertainment venues and retail establishments now occupy once-empty lots. And there’s nowhere to park—the sure sign of a thriving metropolis. The obvious question: Can Phoenix ever be walkable?

Join Lauren Gilger, co-host of KJZZ’s newsmagazine program The Show, along with community advocate David Crummey, artist Jen Urso, and transit planner and sustainability specialist Arden Holloway for a panel discussion about what it might take to make way for pedestrians in metro Phoenix.
