1) Water Slide

It can get pretty hot in Arizona, so why not travel in style with a bikini or swim trunks while cooling off from the heat? Some locals may already have heard of Slide the City, which is coming to Phoenix on May 16. But after a slippery deal between the City of Phoenix and Smart Growth America, this water slide may be a permanent mode of transportation. Forget your car! Instead, bring your inner tubes and inflatable whales, and slide to work in summer style.

2) Ski Lifts

Is there snow in Phoenix? If there was, it would’ve melted in seconds. Even if it doesn’t snow frequently downtown, there may be a new opportunity for people to take a ski lift to work. Instead of taking an elevator, take a ski lift directly from the parking lot to your designated floor. Those tall city buildings don’t seem as intimidating anymore! Need a lift?

3) Ziplines

Downtown Phoenix may get a new view from above with ziplines that could be installed to connect downtown Phoenix with midtown Phoenix. Easily accessible, these ziplines can give people time to think about their lives and wonder if it was OK to bring all those donuts in to work!

4) Rollercoaster

If you are late to a meeting and you need a fast ride, ADOT may have a plan for you. Rollercoasters may get their own lane next to the light rail system. It’s like being in Six Flags or Disneyland all over again. When someone asks you how your day has been, just tell them it’s a rollercoaster ride after taking one of them to Phoenix.

5) Horse and Buggy

Quit horsing around and be transported back into the past with a classic way to get around town. This method of travel is still common in some areas of America like New York’s Central Park, but bringing a horse and buggy to Phoenix can really help people reconnect with the past (and that fresh smell of horse manure).

6) Gondola

You might just be singing “Volare” with one of Phoenix’s gondoliers if this new Complete Streets proposal becomes a reality. If you cannot afford to go to the real deal in Venice, then take a gondola ride through the desert. A man-made river would be carved out into a new lane, and gondola rides will surround the downtown area and rotate every 15 minutes.
