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.

They would just need to open the dam at Roosevelt Lake to get down to Tempe. Doesn't have much to do with the Colorado. But I'm not an expert!
Tempe literally drained the entire lake just a couple of years ago to clean up the lake bottom of garbage
