Avondale is preparing for its Veterans Day observance, with City Hall, courts, and community centers closing on November 11 to honor the holiday. According to the city's website, these closures are part of the annual recognition of military veterans' sacrifices and service. Essential services, including police and fire departments, will continue to operate. The city has also confirmed that trash and bulk pick-up schedules will remain unchanged despite the holiday closures.
Transportation services will have some changes on Veterans Day. While local buses from Valley Metro will run on their regular schedule, Express/RAPID routes will not be operating. Additionally, the city's WeRIDE microtransit service will be unavailable. Avondale residents who use these services should plan ahead for any disruptions to their routines.
Avondale is inviting the public to a Veterans Day 5k Run/Walk and Ceremony. This event, organized with Estrella Mountain Community College, will take place from 9 a.m. to noon. Those interested in joining the commemorative activities can find registration details and additional information at the City of Avondale website.
Residents looking for more information can contact Avondale officials at 623-333-1000.
