One proposed budget cut that could impact Ahwatukee Foothills residents is the possible elimination of all five neighborhood circulator bus systems in Phoenix, including ALEX. The Phoenix City Council will make a decision April 27, but Councilman Sal DiCiccio and a committee of local residents have come up with a plan to save the service by reducing its hours and length of routes provided by ALEX.
