Tempe Town Lake’s Light Rail Bridge

July 7, 2008 by Nick Bastian 3 Comments

We took this short video of a Light Rail car crossing the Tempe Town Lake Bridge north bound on the 4th of July. The area is shown here in a pic from a little earlier in the day. Next year, I am sure the trains will be full of people heading to the 4th of July fireworks show at the lake. This year, as always, the place was packed and parking was a nightmare for many. While the trains sat at the 3rd / Mill stop, thousands of people walked by and many took advantage of having their first look inside of the cars. I noticed how well the a/c worked inside of the cars on such a warm day. Once the train left the stop for it’s journey past the Depot Cantina and over the lake, I watched several people that were very surprised to see the trains in action. It was kind of funny..

Large events like this will be a great way for people to easily access the area while using one of the eight park and ride stations. Mill Avenue throws some great parties and Light Rail will be a convenient way to get to and from the action while not having to walk so far from a good parking spot.

    Could you post a link to the YouTube video? When I try to play the embedded version it says the video is no longer available. You might consider hosting videos at Vimeo.com or Blip.tv instead of YouTube. They are not as popular/well known in terms of user base but your videos won’t go down either. Thanks for shooting this regardless.
