Mesa’s past and future are mixing together in the first development planned to take advantage of Metro light rail service.
West Main Station Village features a stucco and tile ramada similar to one used by the city’s first train station when it opened in 1930, connecting Mesa to Phoenix by rail. It proposes to mix townhouses with shops…
“We’re looking at it as definitely taking advantage of the light rail,” architect Fred Woods said. “If the light rail wasn’t there, we probably wouldn’t be doing the project.”
