>> COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON: HOW A RECENT COURT RULING AFFECTS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SWEEPING GLOBAL TRADE TARIFFS... ALSO, HOW ADVANCES IN TREATMENT ARE HELPING ARIZONANS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEADLY FORM OF SKIN CANCER... AND A MASSIVE EFFORT IS UNDERWAY IN TEMPE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF CITY STREETS.

THOSE STORIES AND MORE NEXT, ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M CHRISTINA ESTES, FILLING IN FOR TED SIMONS.

THE FBI SAYS THE MAN CHARGED IN THE ATTACK IN BOULDER, COLORADO THAT INJURED EIGHT PEOPLE TOLD POLICE HE PLANNED IT FOR A YEAR AND SAID HE WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

MOHAMMED SOLIMAN REPORTEDLY CONFESSED TO THE ATTACK AND SAID HE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED WHAT HE CALLED A “ZIONIST GROUP.” A FEDERAL HATE CRIME HAS BEEN LEVELED AGAINST SOLIMAN ALONG WITH 16 COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.

HE ALLEGEDLY USED A HOMEMADE FLAMETHROWER AND THREW A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL INTO A GROUP THAT HAD GATHERED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO ISRAELI HOSTAGES IN GAZA.

THE WHITE HOUSE CALLS IT A TERRORIST ATTACK.

AS OF TERRORISM AND THAT'S HOW THE CASE IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS.

KUDOS TO OUR FBI DIRECTOR CASH PATEL WHO IMMEDIATELY CALLED THIS A TERRORIST ATTACK.

WE KNOW THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL, THIS TERRORIST WAS ALLOWED INTO THIS COUNTRY BY THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, WAS FOOLISHLY GIVEN A TOURISM VISA AND ILLEGALLY ALLOWED TO STAY.

THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO BE DEPORTED, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE SUCH VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY.

>>> UKRAINE'S DRONE ATTACK AGAINST RUSSIAN AIRFIELDS HIT 41 AIRCRAFT INCLUDING BECAMES AND SURVEILLANCE PLANES.

IT'S NOT CLEAR YET HOW MANY WERE TAKEN COMPLETELY OUT OF SERVICE.

ONE EXPERT SAYS THE ATTACK WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE CAPACITY OF RUSSIA'S LONG-RANGE AVIATION FORCE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GLOBAL TRADE TARRIFFS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY DELAYED.

IN A RULING LAST WEEK, THE US COURT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE SAID AN EMERGENCY LAW INVOKED BY THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT GIVE THE PRESIDENT UNILATERAL AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE TARIFFS.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ISSUE WE WELCOME STEPHEN MONTOYA PARTNER AT MONTOYA, LUCERO & PASTOR.

THANKS FOR COMING?

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

>> WHAT DOES THIS RULING SEEN IN.

>> IT MEANS THAT TRUMP IS IN FOR A LONG FIGHT WITH HISTORIES.

THE COURT, THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE COURT, DECLARED THE TARIFF ITS UNLAWFUL ON WEDNESDAY OF LAST WEEK FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS THAT THE LAW -- IF CONSTRUED THE WAY OR INTERPRETED THE WAY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS INTERPRETING IT, WAS TOO BROAD AND DELEGATED TOO MUCH AUTHORITY AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMOUNT OF AUTHORITY, TO THE PRESIDENT.

REMEMBER, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8, THE POWER TO TAX, TARIFF IS A TAX -- BELONGS TO CONGRESS AND CONGRESS ALONE.

AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNILATERALLY CREATE TAXES IN THE FORM OF TARIFFS ON ANYONE UNLESS A CONGRESSIONAL -- UNLESS A STATUTE PASSED BY CONGRESS SPECIFIES THE NATURE AND THE TIME AND THE AMOUNT OF THE PARTICULAR TARIFF, BASED UPON A SPECIFIC REASON.

TRUMP USED THE INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY ECONOMIC POWERS ACT TO UNILATERALLY IMPOSE TARIFFS UPON COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

SOME THAT DID NOT EVEN TRADE WITH US.

AND HE BASICALLY ASSUMED UNILATERAL CONTROL OVER IMPOSING TARIFFS, AND THE COURT SAID THAT THAT WAS UNLAWFUL, AND UNDERSTOOD IN ONE PERSPECTIVE, IF NOT DECLARED CONTEMPORARY TO THE STATUTE, WOULD ACTUALLY BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

>> THE ADMINISTRATION IMMEDIATELY APPEALED.

A WHITE HOUSE SPOKESPERSON SAID, U.S. TRADE DEFICITS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES CONSTITUTED, QUOTE, A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, BUT IT HAS DECIMATED AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, LEFT OUR WORKERS BEHIND AND WEAKENED OUR INDUSTRIAL BASE.

FACTS THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS DID NOT DISPUTE -- THE COURT, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, SAYS DID NOT DISPUTE.

>> THE COURT DID SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THAT.

I HAVE THE OPINION RIGHT HERE.

HERE'S WHAT THE COURT SAID TO THAT, ANOTHER LAW CALLED THE TRADE ACT OF 1974 SPECIFICALLY DEALS WITH UNFAIR TRADE IMBALANCES AND CREATES A REGIME FOR HANDLING THOSE.

AND THE COURT SAID IF THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO DEAL WITH TRADE IMBALANCES, THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD TO DO SO UNDER THE 1974 LAW, WHICH PRESCRIBES A SPECIFIC, PROCEDURAL REGIME AND TIME LIMITS.

THE REGIME SAYS YOU CAN ONLY RAISE A TARIFF 15% AND YOU CAN ONLY DO IT FOR 150 DAYS.

SO FOR TRADE IMBALANCES, THE 1974 LAW WAS APPLICABLE RATHER THAN THE EMERGENCY LAW OF 1977.

>> SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I'M NOT THE LAWYER, AND THE TARIFFS ISSUE IS DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW DAY BY DAY, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE ARE STILL TARIFFS ON VEHICLES, STEEL, IS THAT CORRECT?

AND IF SO, WHY?

>> WELL, BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER TRADE LAW THAT AUTHORIZES THE PRESIDENT TO IMPOSE TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM, BOTH IN THEIR RAW FORM AND IN THEIR MANUFACTURED FORM IF IT'S UNDERMINING THE AMERICAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM INDUSTRY RATHER IN THEIR RAW FORM LIKE U.S. STEEL OR, FOR EXAMPLE, GENERAL MOTORS.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE.

AND THIS DECISION DOESN'T IMPACT US THOSE.

>> THERE ARE OTHER COURT CASES INVOLVING TARIFFS.

WHAT'S THE STATUS THAT.

>> WELL, THE STATUS OF ONE IMPORTANT ONE OUT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, CONCLUDED WITH THE TRADE COURT THAT -- ACROSS THE BOARD TARIFFS WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UNLAWFUL.

>> SO THE PRESIDENT SPOKESPERSON, THE COMMERCE SECRETARY, I BELIEVE IT WAS, SAID YESTERDAY TARIFFS AREN'T GOING AWAY, THE PRESIDENT IS GONNA WIN THIS.

HOW IS THIS GONNA END UP?

IS THIS GONNA HAVE TONIGHT DECIDED WITH THE SUPREME COURT OR WHAT?

>> I THINK IT IS.

AND I THINK HE'S GONNA LOSE IT, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

THE CONSERVATIVE WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE FREE TRADE WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BROUGHT THIS LAWSUIT, AND THE DEMOCRATS, OR THE LIBERALS JOINED THE LAWSUIT.

SO NOW THE PRESIDENT IS CONFRONTING THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE LIBERALS, AND SOME OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE INDIVIDUALS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT REALLY ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH THE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES ON THE SUPREME COURT.

FOR EXAMPLE, JUSTICE THOMAS, JUSTICE ALITO.

THIS IS THAT SAME GROUP OF LAWYERS, THAT SAME GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PUSHING TO OVERTURN THIS LAW.

REPUBLICANS HAVE TRADITIONALLY DESTAINED AND OPPOSED TARIFFS.

SO -- AND THE LIBERALS DON'T LIKE THEM EITHER.

SO I THINK -- AND PLUS, I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS THIS BROAD OF POWER.

THE PRESIDENT HAS BASICALLY TAKEN UNTO HIMSELF THE POWER TO IMPOSE TARIFFS ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ANY REASON AT ANY AMOUNT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE THAT POWER UNDER LAW.

I THINK HE'S GONNA LOSE.

BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER LAWS THAT HE CAN LAWFULLY USE THAT THEY'RE ALREADY STARTING TO THREATENING TO USE.

SO I DO AGREE THERE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE TARIFFS.

JUST NOT THIS BROAD.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A TOPIC WE WILL BE DISCUSSION AGAIN AND AGAIN.

STEVEN MONTOYA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> MELANOMA ACCOUNTS FOR ONLY ABOUT 1% OF SKIN CANCERS BUT CAUSES THE MAJORITY OF SINK CANCER DEATHS.

NEW DATA SHOW MELANOMA DEATH RATES SIGNIFICANTLY DECLINED FROM 2013 TO 2022.

HERE TO TELL US HOW ADVANCES IN TREATMENT ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IS DR. MARK GIMBEL, SURGICAL ONCOLOGIST AT BANNER MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER.

I KNOW HAVE YOU A LOT MORE TITLES TO YOUR NAME, BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT AT THAT FOR NOW.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE TREATMENTS.

CAN WE RUN THROUGH -- I KNOW SURGERY IS ONE.

HOW IS THAT HELPING?

>> SURE, WITH MELANOMA, OBVIOUSLY THE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY IT EARLY BECAUSE IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY IT EARLY, IT'S 100% CURE.

SO THE WAY TO CURE IT IS FIRST TO BE SCREENED.

IF YOU GET THE SCREENING DONE AND YOUR DERMATOLOGIST FINDS SOMETHING, HAVE IT REMOVED, IF IT'S TAKEN OFF, GREAT, YOU'RE DONE.

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN MELANOMA PROGRESSES BEYOND THAT EARLY STAGE WHEN AN INCISION OR SURGICAL RECEPTION IS NOT ENOUGH.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE SAW A LOT OF THE DEATHS FROM MELANOMA AS IT PROGRESSED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO GOOD TREATMENTS FOR MELANOMA.

PEOPLE HISTORICALLY WOULD DIE ONCE THEY HAD MELANOMA THAT SPREAD TO THE LYMPH NODES AND SPREAD BEYOND.

ONLY RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST 10 YEARS, THE TREATMENTS HAVE PROGRESSED SO MUCH, THAT WE'RE NOW SEEING PEOPLE WITH WIDESPREAD CANCER WHO ARE BEING CURED.

>> SO YOU MENTIONED YOUR DOCTOR NOTICES SOMETHING, MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS CHECKED ON.

WHAT CAN I -- WHO IS MOST AT RISK, AND WHAT IS IT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR?

>> LIVING IN ARIZONA WE'RE ALL AT RISK FOR BEING UNDER THE SUN.

THE SUN CAUSES OVER 95% OF ALL MELANOMA, ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION DOES.

THAT CAN BE MOSTLY FROM THE SUN, BUT ALSO TANNING BEDS.

WE NEED TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF ULTRA VIOLATE RADIATION YOU'RE GETTING.

SO PREVENTION IS THE FIRST KEY.

SUNSCREEN, CLOTHING, STAYING OUT OF THE SUN AT THE HIGH POINTS OF THE DAY.

THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

>> AND HIGH POINTS OF THE DAY ARE?

>> BETWEEN 10:00 AND 2:00, TYPICALLY.

SO IF YOU'RE A SWIMMER, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE POOL AT THAT TIME, SO TRY TO GO A LITTLE LATER IN THE DAY OR EARLIER IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUN ISN'T AS STRONG.

>> WHEN YOU SAY SUNSCREEN, I OFTEN HEAR REPLY EVERY X HOURS AND HOW MUCH.

YOU CAN HELP US OUT WITH THAT?

>> WE RECOMMEND A USE A SUNSCREEN OF SPF OF 30, BEYOND THAT YOU GET INCREMENTAL BENEFITS BUT THE BENEFIT IS SMALL.

SUNSCREEN USING PROTECTION FOR UVA AND UVB RADIATION AND C AS WELL.

YOU WANT TO BE APPLYING IT EVERY TWO HOURS, AND NOT JUST SPRAYING AND GOING AWAY.

YOU HAVE TO GET A GOOD BASE AMOUNT INTO THE SKIN SO IT GETS ABSORBED AND THAT PROTECTS YOU.

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN PEOPLE GO OUTSIDE, WHAT DO THEY DO, THEY SWEAT, AND THEN THEY WIPE THEMSELVES DOWN AND WIPE THE SUNSCREEN OFF.

SO THAT'S WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REPLIED EVERY TWO HOURS OR SO.

>> SHOULD IT BE UNDER, SHOULD IT BE THE VERY FIRST THING YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN IF YOU PUT MOISTURIZER ON OR MAKE-UP, FIRST OR LAST?

>> WE ALWAYS LIKE TO HAVE THAT FIRST BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE SKIN IS GOING TO ABSORB IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF MAKE-UPS THAT DO HAVE SUNSCREEN BUILT IN AS WELL, SO THAT COULD BE A COMBINATION, AS WELL, WHERE YOU COULD PUT IT TOGETHER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT THINGS ON YOUR SKIN.

>> THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME ASK YOU THAT.

AND IMMUNOTHERAPY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND HOW IS THAT WORKING?

>> I TOLD YOU EARLIER, WHEN MELANOMA SPREADS, IT USED TO BE LETHAL BUT WE'VE FIND WAY TO GET YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO GO AFTER CANCER CELLS.

TYPICALLY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE CANCER SO THE CANCER CAN CONTINUE TO GROW.

HOWEVER, WITH THIS NEWER CLASS OF MEDICATION CALLED IMMUNOTHERAPY, IT TAKES THE BRAKES OFF OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, SO NOW YOUR IMMUNE CELLS CAN RECOGNIZE CANCER AND GO AFTER AND ATTACK THE CANCER CELLS.

NOT ONLY DOES IT ATTACK THE CANCER CELLS BUT IT CAN MAKE MEMORY TO THE CANCER WHEREAS IT SPREADS THROUGHOUT YOUR BODY AND YOU RESPOND TO IT, YOU CAN HAVE A CURE AS IT'S SPREAD THROUGHOUT.

>> IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN TARGETED THERAPY?

>> THE OTHER WAYS TO TREAT CANCER IN ITS MORE ADVANCE FORMS IS CHEMOTHERAPY, AND CHEMOTHERAPY IS ESSENTIALLY A POISON, IF YOU WILL, THAT YOU PUT THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE BODY, KILL GOOD CELLS AND BAD CELLS BUT PREFERENTIALLY KILL THE BAD CELLS.

TARGETED THERAPY MEANS WHEN YOU HAVE A CANCER, THERE ARE CERTAIN PROTEINS ON THE WALL OF THE CANCER CELL, AND YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THOSE PROCEED TEENS, AND YOU CAN MAKE -- THERE'S DRUGS THAT CAN NOW RECOGNIZE THOSE PROTEINS, SO THAT CAN IDENTIFY THE CANCER CELL ALONE LEAVING YOUR NORMAL CELLS BEHIND AND ONLY TARGET THE CANCER CELLS.

SO THAT'S A CANCER CELL TARGETED THERAPY AND IMMUNOTHERAPY ACTIVATING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO GO AFTER CANCER CELLS.

>> ALL OF THIS SOUNDS LIKE INCREDIBLY POSITIVE NEWS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ME BEING DEBBY DOWNER OR WHAT, BUT SOMETIMES I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, SUCH GREAT ADVANCES HAVE BEEN MADE, THAT MAYBE THESE PEOPLE GET A LITTLE COMFORTABLE AND THINK THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY AS DANGEROUS AS IT IS.

DO YOU SEE THAT, OR ARE YOU VERY OPTIMISTIC AND JUST GLAD THAT THESE ADVANCED TREATMENTS ARE WORKING AND -- >> MELANOMA IS A SCARY DIAGNOSIS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT DIAGNOSIS AT ANY POINT, EVEN AT EARLY STAGE THAN THE LATER STAGE BECAUSE OF HOW LETHAL IT CAN BE.

NOT EVERYBODY WILL RESPOND TO TREATMENT.

A GOOD PROPORTION WILL, BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE LIGHTLY.

YOU WANT TO GET THAT, IDENTIFY IT EARLY IF YOU HAVE SPOTS THAT ARE CHANGING OR DARK, GET IT IDENTIFIED, BECAUSE THE EARLIER YOU CAN IDENTIFY IT, THE BETTER YOUR OUTCOMES ARE GONNA BE.

SO NOBODY SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF MELANOMA.

>> AND WEAR THAT SUNSCREEN, EVERY TWO HOURS REPLY.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> DR. MARK GIMBEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> A MASSIVE PROJECT IS UNDERWAY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF STREETS IN TEMPE.

ONE KEY ASPECT INVOLVES RESTORING THE PAVEMENT OF EVERY STREET TO EXCELLENT CONDITION.

TO LEARN MORE, WE WELCOME ERIC IWERSEN, TRANSPORTATION MANAGER FOR TEMPE.

THANKS FOR COMING IN.

HEY, WHAT IS -- SOUNDS VERY AMBITIOUS TO TRY TO GET EVERY STREET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

AND I THINK YOUR DEADLINE IS FOUR YEARS.

>> CORRECT.

>> HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?

>> YEAH, WE ARE VERY EXCITED THIS, AND WE ARE AMBITIOUS ABOUT THE GOAL IN FOUR YEARS, 2028 IS OUR GOAL TO GET THIS DONE.

IT'S REALLY ABOUT 90, 92% OF OUR STREETS IN TEMPE, WE HAVE 1200 MILES OF ROADWAY IN OUR CITY, SO ABOUT 90% OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE RESURFACED IN SOME WAY, REPAVED IN SOME WAYS.

SOMETIMES JUST A SIMPLE TOP COAT TO THE STREET, TO APPLY IT TO REALLY BRING IT UP TO A REALLY GOOD USABLE CONDITION FOR ALL OF OUR USERS.

SO ANYONE, YOU KNOW, WALKING, BIKING, DRIVING, TAKING THE BUS ON OUR STREETS WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS.

WE WERE HAPPY TO SEE THAT OUR VOTERS HAD PRIORITIZED THIS OVER LAST MANY YEARS AND WANTING TO HAVE OUR ROADWAYS REALLY REFLECT THE QUALITY OF THE COMMUNITY WE KNOW WE ARE, AND SO IN THE FALL OF LAST -- LAST FALL, 2024, WE PASSED -- THE VOTERS PASSED AN INITIATIVE TO FUND THIS AND REALLY ACCELERATE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT ROADWAY SYSTEM.

SO WE DO -- WE ARE -- IT IS AN AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING AND SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE WE CAN DO.

>> WHENEVER SOMEBODY HEAR BESIDE STREETS BEING FIXED UP, THE FIRST QUESTION IS OFTEN, WHEN IS MINE GOING TO GET FIXED UP.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHICH STREETS TO TACKLE FIRST?

>> YEAH, IN GENERAL, WE HAVE -- EVERY STREET HAS A SCORE, WHAT WE CALL A PAVEMENT QUALITY INDEX.

AND SO WITH THOSE, WE TAKE REALLY THE WORST STREETS, THE WORST RATING, SO ON A SCALE OF LIKE 0 TO 100, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET ALL OF THE STREETS UP TO ABOVE AN 82 SCORE IN THAT PQI.

SO GENERALLY THE LOWER YOUR STREET IS, THE FIRST KIND OF PRIORITIZATION THAT IT WILL RECEIVE.

SO THE WORST STREETS ARE BEING DONE FIRST.

>> AND THERE'S A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO FIND OUT, RIGHT, WHICH STREETS ARE BEING -- >> CORRECT.

YEAH, WE HAVE A REALLY ACTIVE DATABASE, WEBSITE WITH OUR PQI AND PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THAT PEOPLE CAN ACCESS ON OUR CITY WEBSITE.

>> AND IT'S NOT JUST FOCUSING ON THE PAVEMENT, BUT ALSO MAKING SOME OTHER SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU CAN GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN.

>> YEAH.

SO WHEN WE TOUCH A ROAD, WE REALLY TRY TO LOOK AT -- WE WORK WITH A VARIETY OF OUR DEPARTMENTS FROM OUR PUBLIC SAFETY TO OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS, OUR CITY PLANNERS, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND REALLY LOOK AT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT USERS THAT ARE ON THAT ROAD, AND SO WE ARE A CITY THAT'S LAND-LOCKED.

WE'RE 44 SQUARE MILES.

WE HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF BIKE RIDERSHIP IN THE REASON, HIGHEST PER CAPITA TRANSIT RIDERSHIP IN THE STATE, SO ALL OF THE DIFFERENT USERS ON THE ROAD ARE IMPORTANT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE TOUCHING THAT STREET, REPAVING IT, THAT THERE'S IMPROVEMENT TO THE BIKE LANE, IMPROVEMENT TO THE TRANSIT ACCESS.

SOMETHING WE CAN ADD IN THERE.

WE LOOK AT ADDING BUFFERED BIKE LINES, MAKING THEM A BIT SAFER WHEN WE REPAVE THE ROAD, AND OF COURSE JUST HAVING A GOOD GENERAL PAVING QUALITY ON THAT STREET WILL MAKE IT BETTER FOR ALL YOU GUYS.

>> PHOTO ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS WENT LIVE AT 14 INTERSECTIONS IN MAY.

CRY TAKES ARE GOING TO START BEING ISSUED WHEN?

>> JUNE 5th IS WHEN THE CITATIONS START FOR THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT.

WE HAVE 14 INTERSECTIONS THAT HAVE THE CAMERAS UP, AND SO, YEAH, WE'VE HAD A ONE-MONTH TRIAL PERIOD, A KIND OF EDUCATIONAL PERIOD, AND AT THE END OF THIS WEEK IS WHEN WE START WITH THE CITATIONS.

>> WHAT EXACTLY DO THE CAMERAS CAPTURE, IS IT SPEED, RED LIGHT RUNNERS?

>> BOTH.

SLOW DOWN, AND DON'T RUN THE RED, REALLY THE MESSAGE.

AND THIS IS REALLY TODAY TO IN WITH, YOU KNOW, THE SAFETY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO ON OUR ROADWAYS ACROSS THE CITY.

IT'S BEEN IMPORTANT TO US AS WE DO HAVE A STRONG MULTIMOBILE CITY THAT IEWL ALL USERS OF THE ROADWAYS ARE SAFE.

SO WE'VE HAD THE INITIATIVE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING THE SPEED LIMIT.

THE PHOTO RADAR WILL BE ONE MORE TOOL FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS.

>> HOW THE CITATIONS BE ISSUED, OR WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND OUT SORT OF HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS?

BECAUSE, BEFORE THERE WERE CITIES THAT HAD THOSE AND THERE WAS SOME CONTROVERSY IN WHO GETS TICKETS AND HOW AND THAT SORT OF THING.

DO YOU HAVE A WEBSITE THAT'S GOT THE DETAIL AS SOON AS.

>> YEAH, WE DO, ON OUR TEMPE.GOV WEBSITE.

PHOTO ENFORCEMENT HAS ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET A CITATION.

THERE'S A FACTS PAGE BASICALLY, AND WHERE THE LOCATION OF THE CAMERAS ARE AND ALL OF THE OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

>> WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A -- WE USE THE WORD MASSIVE BUT IT REALLY IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING.

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ROADWAYS THAT REALLY REFLECT THE QUALITY AND CHARACTER OF OUR CITY.

AGAIN, WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE THESE ROADWAYS, ALL OF THESE MULTIPLE MOTEL, ACCESS FOR BIKING, WALKING, IF YOU'RE IN A WHEELCHAIR AND OF COURSE OUR DRIVERS.

AND WE'RE ADDING STREET TREES WHERE WE CAN.

ADDING THE AESTHETIC IMPROVEMENT, URBAN COOLING IMPROVEMENT, AND FINALLY MAKE THEM SAFER.

SO WE WANT THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT GOING HAND IN HAND WITH THE PAVEMENT, IS A WAY FOR US TO MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER.

WE HAVE A VISION ZERO POLICY AT THE CITY THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2019 TO REDUCE OUR SERIOUS CRASHES DOWN TO 0.

WE THINK THAT PHOTO ENFORCEMENT IS A TOOL, ANOTHER TOOL FOR US TO GET TO THAT ZERO SAFE PLAN.

>> YOU'VE GOT A BUSY FOUR YEARS AHEAD.

>> YES, WE DO.

>> THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO COME IN.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M CHRISTINA ESTES, IN FOR TED SIMONS.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

>> HELLO, I'M ALICE FERRIS.

WE HOPE YOU
