PHOENIX — The town of Gilbert on Monday opened five new rideshare passenger loading zones in the Heritage District downtown.

There are two loading zones along Vaughn and Page avenues and one on Cullumber avenue.

Vehicles can remain in the loading zones for up to two minutes while picking up or dropping off passengers.

Multiple vehicles can use the passenger loading zones at the same time, according to the release.

Other amenities in the area include a retail experience filled with diverse stores as well as the city’s iconic water tower that lights up in different colors throughout the year.
