There is a packet for a presentation to the Historical Preservation Commission tomorrow, but it looks like the same renderings we've seen before:

And yeah, it's too bad because there is a lot I like about it, especially the plan to rehab and restore the train depot. Between Mesa's historic train depot burning down in the 80s and Phoenix's being stuck in telecom-storage-purgatory, I would really love it if Tempe's station could be restored, preserved and utilized. Even though I have a gut reaction not liking the parking looming over the light rail tracks, If I was deciding I'd probably still support the project as is as good enough all things considered.
