Federal transit officials recently spotlighted Tempe’s proposed streetcar system as one of the nation’s top rail projects, but city officials and residents are waiting for Valley Metro officials to provide a recommended route.
The recommendation was expected last fall, following community meetings and outreach aimed at gauging which route residents prefer.
Valley Metro officials would not comment on the cause of the delay. “Valley Metro is working with Tempe to review the two route alternatives that would present the best opportunity for federal funding while also meeting community needs,” Valley Metro spokeswoman Susan Tierney said in an e-mail.
