Top 10 Ethnic Restaurants Along the Mesa Light Rail

July 13, 2014 by David Crummey 2 Comments

As we celebrate the coming light rail into Mesa, I thought about all the great international restaurants along the corridor in Mesa. I tried to come up with a list of just ten great ethnic restaurants that are, or will soon be, within walking distance of a light rail station. Right now, only Sycamore is […]

METRO was kind enough to invite some people to their operations and maintenance facility today to take a look at what could be the new Tempe Streetcar vehicles. I’ll post some more info soon but wanted to show a couple of videos from today as well as a few pics. There will be a public […]

Potential Tempe Streetcar Stations Identified

September 7, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Last night, Metro held a public meeting to share information on the latest recommendations for the Tempe Streetcar project along Mill and Ash Avenues. While I found much of the information interesting and enjoyed talking with people about the alignment, the construction process and economic impacts, it was the station locations that seemed most interesting […]

More Streetcar Info – Some Things To Think About

August 31, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Next Tuesday, METRO will have an open house to talk to the public about the Tempe Streetcar alignment, proposed station locations, system operations and more. While there have been talks about the Tempe South extension for quite some time, we have recently started hearing more on the dynamics of how the stations can effect our […]

Friends Of Transit, Foes Of Transit: Who Wins?

August 25, 2011 by Rail Life 3 Comments

Last week’s Transit Means Business Conference in Phoenix was well attended by transit geeks, politicians and METRO staff. If you have an interest in transit, I would strongly recommend that you connect with Friends of Transit and get on their mailing list. Speaking at the conference were: Yvonne Hunter: Board Chair, Friends of Transit, addressed […]

Platinum Pass Now Available To Small Business

August 4, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

The METRO platinum pass program can be used by a business as a way to subsidize all or part of their employees transportation costs. For light rail, the maximum monthly cost to the employer would be $55.00. I notice that they say “your company or organization must have a minimum of five current active transit […]

West 6th – Welcome To The Neighborhood

July 30, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

West 6th threw a party Friday night.  It was an amazing party that gave many of us a glimpse of what is to come with these gorgeous buildings. I’ve been fortunate to have taken a few tours of West 6th over the past few years; first with the previous ownership group while the buildings were […]

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Encore on Farmer Update

July 24, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

I was with some friends in Tempe on Friday night and we somehow brought up the Mill Avenue District. ( shocking, I’m sure ) When Encore on Farmer was brought up, there was a “I didn’t even know about that” statement. It reminded me that I had been sent a copy of the rendering for […]

Score Another For Phoenix

July 16, 2011 by Rail Life 1 Comment

I’m a big fan of a company called Walk Score. I’ve mentioned them several times is the past, but basically a Walk Score is a way for people to score a property based on it’s walk-ability. Being somewhat of a transit geek, I find this tool very interesting and have shared it with a bunch […]

More Mill Action Coming Soon

July 14, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

West 6th will be open before we know it, bringing hundreds of new residents to the Mill Avenue District. Local merchants seem to be pretty excited about the potential for so many new customers to converge upon the area. The only concern I am hearing is the lack of a nearby grocery store, but some […]
