With the Colorado watershed in difficulty, and water rationing being in the cards for the southwestern states, it is unlikely that this would happen, at lease for the next two to three years. I could see Tempe lobbying for the waterfront to be expanded, but it just doesn't seem likely with the current state of water politics in the SW.

That seems barely less reprehensible.
