Park Ave / University Blvd Streetcar Track, Tucson, AZ  01/27/2013
Freshly laid curve of the new streetcar track at University Main Gate adjacent to the UofA this afternoon.   This is looking southwest in the Park Ave / University Blvd intersection.

I'll hopefully be able to catch up on past photos that need to be posted on my blog soon.  I've been having to deal with a family medical crisis that has been requiring a lot of my attention lately.
