So, here’s a meeting you might not want to miss if you are interested in learning more about the proposed Tempe Streetcar ^[1] project.

The meeting looks to be about design guidelines for the look and feel of the stations. While this is cool stuff to know, there is sure to be a person or two in attendance looking to find out how they will be funding the project ^[2].

Of course, you can follow along with the Tempe Streetcar project via the City of Tempe Streetcar ^[3] page and the METRO Streetcar ^[4] page, as well.

Provide input on Urban Design Guidelines for Tempe Streetcar

METRO invites you to attend a public meeting to review and comment on the Urban Design Guidelines (UDG) for the 2.6-mile Tempe Streetcar project that will serve the downtown and Central Tempe community.

The UDG is a document that will provide the future project designers with guidelines for how the streetcar stops should look, including concepts for seating, lighting, platform paving treatments, canopies, etc.
