Some news from Central Station. It appears that the primary delay in the Central Station development was getting approval from the Federal Transit Administration to build on the site. From what I know, FTA required the developer to present a plan to maintain full transit operations at Central Station while his development was under construction. I don't know what stage he was in with FTA. With the speed of the federal government, who knows how long negotiations and talks would have taken. In any case, the developer has passed and there is more doubt that ever that this project can move forward. Maybe the city will move back to the drawing board and issue another RFP. A large part of me hopes that the city will revisit the other proposals from the last round of RFPs and select from that pool. Those proposals were a little bit more daring and urban, but could still fit the current context of downtown Phoenix. The saga continues....
