  • An improved interchange at Loop 303 and Grand Avenue.
  • Improvements to congestion on Grand Avenue between Loops 303 and 101.
  • Surprise’s two express bus routes to and from downtown Phoenix.

All of those things either won’t happen or will be taken away if the Proposition 400 transportation tax isn’t extended, warned Eric Anderson, the executive director of the Maricopa Association of Governments.
