Watch it grow. The light rail extension to Phoenix Sky Harbor airport is well under construction and making progress. When completed, the above-ground transportation system will deliver thousands of passengers from the 44th street/Washington station to each of the airport terminals. The system is designed to be an automatic serviced train with no conductor, the same as in other airports. It is named Skytrain because it is being constructed above the ground, therefore bypassing the issues of normal construction that the current system has featured on an existing street or path. Watch for more developments to...

So, now, full speed ahead until the next ‘Full Stop’ Federal review meeting arrives. The Federal government has approved the next process steps in the 3 mile extension of the light rail tracks down Main Street to Mesa Drive. There is still a long list of requirements for Metro to complete, but that has to be assumed to be automatically done and complied with at this stage. The 3.1 mile extension will continue from the current end station at Sycamore and Main St, down Main Street to Hobson Street, which lies just to the east of Mesa Drive. It is estimated that the Federal Government will contribute $110 million to the project. The additional $200 million will come from the Sales Tax in the County. The design is complicated and meticulous; it can take two full years to complete. So, don’t buy your tickets just yet. They may expire before the train glides over the...
