Could Coyotes Help Expand Tempe Streetcar?

November 16, 2016 by Nick Bastian 1 Comment

This week, we heard of the possibility of the Arizona Coyotes relocating to Tempe. Of course, it is kind of a big deal in the local sports world, but there could be some long term implications for the local transit world, as well. Think about this… The Coyotes might be getting a shiny new home located at […]

Presidents Budget Includes $75 Million Grant for Tempe Streetcar

February 9, 2016 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

It’s nice to see that more information about the Tempe Streetcar is coming out. For years, we’ve had this seemingly “on again, off again” thing going on with the project. Couple that with some of the idiotic ideas that people have suggested like changing the technology along with  rumors of the demise of the system, […]

Environmental Clearance for Tempe Streetcar

November 19, 2015 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

It seems like we have been talking about this on again / off again Tempe Streetcar project for a LONG time. The potential route has been analyzed over and over again, just like the funding mechanisms, the demographics, etc. Heck, the thing is applauded one day and scorned the next. For now, it seems like […]

December 8, 2014 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

This past Monday, METRO held another public meeting to discuss the Tempe Streetcar project. There was a strong turnout at the Tempe Transit Center from people for and against the project. Of course, there were people that wonder why we can’t use the Orbit system or have a bus system travel the route or just […]

Tempe Streetcar Expanding Before Being Built

June 13, 2014 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

Last night, the Tempe City Council heard a formal recommendation concerning the future of the proposed Tempe Streetcar line from Valley Metro’s CEO Steve Banta. If you recall, there have been a lot of changes to the proposed routes over the last several years. The early choice was to have a loop around Mill and Ash and then […]

METRO Dragging Feet While Tempe Looking Forward

March 25, 2014 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

We’ve heard talks of a Tempe Streetcar line for years. There have been many studies, community focus groups and surveys to determine the best route. In today’s paper, Dianna Nanez reminds us that there has been a lot of silence lately concerning the Tempe streetcar route. Apparently, the Feds are interested in the project but […]

Tempe Transit – A Little More Fuel For The Fire

May 28, 2013 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

So, the news finally broke last week about the HUGE multi-use office development coming to the shores of Tempe Town Lake. For months, we’ve been talking about State Farm coming to Tempe and hearing small bits and pieces of speculation about this blockbuster deal that’s going down. The $600 million Marina Heights project is said […]

Potential Tempe Streetcar On Display

September 15, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

We have been hearing a lot of talk about the Tempe Streetcar project lately and have even had a chance to take a ride on one example of what we could see cruising the Mill Avenue District in 2016. If you would like to get an up-close and personal look at what a “modern streetcar” […]
