On Sunday, Sept. 11, the public is invited to join the Never Forget 9/11 Memorial Walk and Ceremony to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.
Hosted by City of Phoenix, the Never Forget 9/11 Memorial Walk will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Chase Bank Tower, 201 N. Central Ave., and finish at 8 a.m. at CityScape, Central Avenue and Jefferson Street. Walkers will follow behind the Phoenix Fire and Police Honor Guard to a stage set up at CityScape. There, keynote speakers will address the audience and there will be a memorial ceremony paying tribute to the men and women we lost during the terrorist events of 9/11/01.
Here’s a timeline of the morning’s events:

Bus and METRO light rail passengers can stay out of the sun thanks to larger shade trees and oversized fabric canopies and bike lockers, corner kiosks, and night-time lighting were also added.
DREAMR stands for Downtown Revitalization Effort Awards of Merit and Recognition and honors the individuals, projects and organizations that dare to dream and work to make those dreams come true. Thanks to DREAMRs, urban blight and decline have been replaced with new centers of retail and commerce, urban residential opportunities, and an active arts and entertainment community. Because these DREAMRs followed their dreams, crowds of people are returning to a renewed and invigorated Downtown Phoenix.
Downtown Recycles
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
It’s in that spirit that the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, City of Phoenix, and CityScape have joined forces to roll out a new recycling program for Downtown.
Phase I of the program, which is the brainchild of the Downtown Phoenix Clean Team, was rolled out today with nine bins located between 3rd Avenue to First Street and Washington to Monroe.
The City researched trash bin use to determine which corners had the biggest need. Phase II is expected to begin in December.
“The goal of the program is to increase recycling awareness in and around Downtown,” said Downtown Phoenix Partnership Program Coordinator Jovanna Perez. “Eventually we hope to generate a revenue stream that we can then give back to the community.”
The first phase of unmistakeable blue recycling bins (pictured, left, with Clean Team member Cornelius Victor at the SW corner of Adams/Central) can be found at the following locations:
SE corner of Washington/3rd Ave.
2nd Ave. between Washington and Adams (2)
NE corner of Adams /1st Ave.
NE corner of Adams / 2nd Ave.
SW corner of Adams / 1st Ave.
SW corner of Adams / Central
NE corner of Adams / Central
SE corner of Monroe / 1st St.
