The iMesa initiative has helped Mesa qualify to be a finalist for a city livability award from the United States Conference of Mayors. The initiative is designed to improve Mesa through transformative community projects that are identified by residents and vetted by a citizen committee. A decision on the award will come June 18, when judges will select from among 15 cities in a category of communities with 100,000 or more residents.

If Mesa wins a "livable city" award, the award is rigged. Mesa's one of the worst planned and managed cities. It's horrible for cyclists. Perhaps livable if you're looking for trailer parks and 99-cent stores.

I would venture that cyclists are a miniscule segment of Mesa's population, at best. This is the nation of the car, especially here.

Folks, ask yourselves...........how can the United States Conference of Mayors give an award to a program that hasn't even produced one ........."solution" ???
This is nothing more than an....."old boys....I vote for your award...you vote for my award" scenario.
It's like the ........Pulitzer Prize........only given to some ....Liberal...Left-wingie type story....never, ever to a ..............conservative newspaper story..........just like the ....Nobel Prize......does anyone believe that Obama deserved the one that he got......for what..........why...."promoting Peace"....what the heck does that mean ???
I think they couldn't find a ....woman with a hyphenated name to give it to..........and Barack Hussein Obama was "close" enough.....he had three names (and gawd knows how many more......lol)
