This is the sole bus route currently servina the Town of Fountain Hills. The final pick up and drop off location is currently located at Palisades and La Montana. The new location would be approximately 113 mile from the current location.

Project Title: Additional Bus Stop Shelters b. Project Location: Palisades &Fountain Hills Blvd. c. Project Description: The current Valley Metro #514 Express bus service runs along Palisades blvd from Shea blvd to the middle of Town. There are 6 stops along the route within Fountain Hills and we are proposing construction of bus stop shelters at one of the busier locations, Palisades &Fountain Hills Blvd. Since Palisades blvd is a divided road, most of these bus stops will require two shelters. One shelter is part of the Park N' Ride project listed above at Town Hall that is currently in progress. Additional bus stop shelters could be built along this route to accomodate all stops on both sides of the street. Weare proposing building 2 of them in the next fiscal year with available funding (approx $42,000 each). Remaining shelters could be built with future funding.
