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...

ANAHEIM, Calif. – In a dark tunnel deep in the innards of Angel Stadium, Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall passed a fellow baseball official a few hours before Tuesday’s All-Star Game. “So,” the official asked, “are you guys ready?” The Diamondbacks are on the clock. One year before the All-Star Game comes to Phoenix for the first time, a contingent of roughly 50 local officials, including a group of about 30 Diamondbacks employees, canvassed Anaheim the past several days. They toured the annual All-Star FanFest, a sprawling event that is a baseball fan’s fantasyland. They got a behind-the-scenes tour of the ballpark. And they shadowed their Anaheim counterparts to get a first-hand look at the event and to better anticipate the differences between a Southern California All-Star Game and one in the desert. The big difference: the heat. Some were griping about the weather in Anaheim on Tuesday, when temperatures climbed into the upper 80s – a far cry from Phoenix’s mid-July average high of 107. “We know they’re going to say it was hot,” Hall said about next year’s game. “How can we get fans to say, ‘Even though it was hot, it was a great All-Star Game’?” Read more:...

Just when we heard for months and months how low the Phoenix city coffers are, there is still plenty of money to buy up and demolish homes, prepare utility relocation, all to prepare 19th Ave for the 3-mile light rail extension. The work will be completed between Butler Drive and Townley Avenue. The project is supposed to last 6 months, and will prepare the frontage roads for ongoing construction work. And in August, you will begin to see the installation of a Phoenix Arts Commission-funded gabion wall. It is scheduled in the Washington Park area north of Bethany Home Road. What is that, you ask? (so did I!). It is a wall that is made of stacked steel cages filled with fractured granite and will be 8 feet tall by 3 feet wide. You can be the first in your neighborhood to have one! Keep an eye out for it. -information courtesy of AZ...
