M7 CONDOS - TEMPE DEVELOPMENT WITH MARRIOTT IN WORKSThe East Valley Tribune reported on Thursday that the Marriott Hotel will anchor the new "M7" Tempe development located at the South East corner of 7th Street & Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe. The big news is, when complete, the conference center will become the largest in Tempe! The 52,000 square foot conference center, which would have the ability to manage very large groups, will complement the 1.2 million square foot development which will include the Marriott Hotel and two condominium towers that will be built at a later date. Stay tuned for more information on the forthcoming M7 Condominium development! Tom Tokoph Tempe Named Arizona's Most Walkable CityMarch 12, 2008Leeann Skoda The Arizona Republic Tempe has been named the "Best Walking City" in Arizona, and among the top 100 in the nation. Health publication Prevention Magazine and the American Podiatric Medical Association surveyed major cities across the U.S. to find the "Best Walking Cities." Tempe was ranked 66 among the Top 100 Walking Cities in the country; Yuma and Glendale also earned a spot on that list. Cities were judged based on criteria that included crime rates, pollution, number of parks and the number of people who walk to work and for exercise. Among the cities surveyed, Tempe boasted the most people who walk to work, the most mass transit users and the most parks per square mile. Tempe scores above the national average for use of alternative transportation: walking, bicycling, and transit use, City of Tempe Community Outreach and Marketing Coordinator Tanya Chavez said. "I think it's a start to becoming a great city," she said of the ranking. "Who doesn't want a city that's environmentally friendly?" The growth of Tempe's efforts to promote walking is partly due to a dedicated sales tax that went into effect in 1996, Chavez said, that enabled the launch of the Tempe in Motion transportation plan that includes bicycle and pedestrian paths, bus services and the light rail system. Tempe's senior planner in Transportation Eric Iwersen has worked toward making Tempe more pedestrian friendly for the past 10 years. He said the work Tempe has done has certainly encouraged residents to walk more. One example of this is the annual city-sponsored Walk to School Day. In October 2007, 8,000 elementary school students and parents participated in the event to promote walking as an environmentally conscious alternative, according to the city's Web site. Also, Arizona State University's proximity to downtown Tempe creates a high-density area, which is conducive to alternative transportation use, he said. Prevention Magazine reported that Tempe earned a "walkability" score of 95 out of 100 on the Web site WalkScore.com for its downtown entertainment, shopping and dining. Iwersen said that the recognition for Tempe is great, but that there is still a lot of work to be done. "I think we have a long way to go," he said. Tempe currently has more than 165 miles of bicycle and scenic pathways, and plans for encouraging more pedestrian traffic are underway. Paved walking facilities will be built along the canals and near Rio Salado Parkway and will include lighting, trees and artwork to draw walkers, Iwersen said. Construction will begin on the Western Canal Multi-use Path in the next two to three months and should be completed by winter 2009, he said. The ultimate goal for the city, he said, is to make alternative transportation easily accessible. It should be as attractive to walk, bike or bus as it is to drive a car, he said. "We are trying to make Tempe as modally balanced as possible," he said. For more information on Tempe bicycle and pedestrian paths, visit the Tempe in Motion Web site at www.tempe.gov/tim.

It was a "first look" for myself and many others of the outstanding views from the new 30 story building. Chef Michael prepared lite fare while developer Ken Losch gave a toast to commemorate the event. The Centerpoint development includes a 1st floor retail level which will be known as "Aroma". Aroma will be the ultimate urban kitchen and will include fresh meats, artisan breads, wine bar, coffee bar, a gellatoria and more. Along side Aroma will be Chef Michael's urban bistro called Trattoria M. With large open window walls spilling into the plaza which will include a jumbo-tron, owner Ken Losch said that it wouldn't be unusual to see movies, special events, or even presidential debates broadcast from the large screen in the plaza. The first residents will be moving into the premier development starting in May '08. For all other Tempe dwellers, Aroma will open it's doors sometime the beginning of September '08!
