Went on a run this morning and decided to take some quick pics for you guys, since photo updates seem to be scarce around here lately...
As a fair warning, I'm not 100% on the names of all of the projects downtown, so I may butcher, feel free to correct me and I will update lol.
WARNING, picture heavy, placed in spoiler for your convenience!
General updates (no photos):
Google Maps satellite view appears to have been updated about 2-3 months behind? You can see the vast amount of land cleared for Phase II, Oliv, Mirabella and the hole for Westin starting to go up. Innovation District Phase I is also visible with Hyatt House and the fancy building I am too lazy to search for the name of currently. ISTB7 land is cleared.
Tempe Street Car is basically at the intersection of Mill & University, they should probably be closing that intersection any day now to connect the line. A few weeks ago I was driving on Ash, and the street car was also at the corner of University and Ash Ave by Whole Foods. I'm not sure one the exact route of the street car but I'm assuming it will tie in at the University and Mill intersection to create a full loop?
There are 3 light weight cranes (idk what to call them, but the baby cranes haha), visible on Apache Blvd from University. I believe two of them are for Apollo and then the other is for the project across the way closer to Dorsey Ln.
Phase II, from what I can see from the ground is clearing way for the roadwork. It seems the Dorsey Ln extension will be the first road completed over there.
The APS Substation towers are completely torn down, and you now have a full unobstructed view of Camelback and Watermark from that angle. Also, at some point McClintock was repaved and is now butter smooth until the University Dr intersection.
