Map via City of Mesa

Mesa residents could one day hop onto streetcars that’d take them to places like Sloan Park, Mesa Riverview, the Asian District and into neighboring Tempe to Mill Avenue and Arizona State University … or not.
Council last week on a 5-2 vote approved researching the feasibility of extending the streetcar system from Tempe 4.4 miles into Mesa, heading east on Rio Salado Parkway to Dobson Road and concluding at Main Street.
The study, which will look at things like traffic and construction impacts, ridership projections and project cost is being funded by a $16-million federal grant.
