Rio Salado Project (Ariz.)

The Concerned Citizens Against Rio Salado Records contain materials both for and against the Rio Salado Project. The collection ranges from 1976 to 1987, with the bulk of the records covering the period between 1983 and 1987.

This collection concentrates on the professional interests of architect and educator James W. Elmore from the 1950s through the 1980s and is arranged in two subgroups.

This collection houses correspondence, research materials, flyers, promotional materials, plans, clippings, newsletters, reel-to-reel audio tapes, and other items documenting James W. Elmore's work as an architect and urban planner. Among the subjects covered are Elmore's proposal for an aerial light rail system in the Salt River Valley, city planning in Phoenix from the 1950s to the 2000s, the development of the Rio Salado Project, and Arizona State University's College of Architecture.
