Hopefully this new ATM will eventually be removed and is just temporary.
-The Firestone service center on 3rd Ave/Van Buren has closed. Eventually I'd imagine the building will be demo'd for something, but it has some art deco details and would be a cool building to get repurposed. Hopefully it remains.
-The Eco Phoenix project on the SWC of 3rd Ave/Roosevelt is totally dormant. The lot was razed, signs were put up, but now there is no activity and there are 2 foot tall weeds all over the lot. What's the deal with that project? Anyone?

The ATM drive-through is supposed to just be temporary. I had thought the original plan was to place it a spot back in it's spot integrated into the ASU tower. But after looking at the renderings and site plans, I see nowhere for the ATM to be located. So I do not know what the end result will be once the tower is completed.
ECO was supposed to break ground last month, but was delayed due to weather supposedly. It is re-scheduled to break ground mid-March. There are a couple of signs on the fence with the new date for ground-breaking.
