Fun fact: as of 9/13/2021 the construction is still ongoing. They’ve successfully widened the street from the aviator parkway to about Campbell, but the rest of the street is FUBAR.
Talk about a blast from the past! I remember all this; the Sun Tran buses, the old old one and the "newer" ones, the hairstyle the newscaster has, (which was a toned down look for t.v. professionals) the suicide lanes, (that was the nickname, because they were very dangerous and even with all the signs, nobody used them correctly) on Broadway and on Grant, and back when news was *actually real,* unbiased, factual and professional, instead of today's garbage.
Amen to all of the above! I was born and raised in Phoenix from 1987-2018 and miss the way of life from the 90's. Like you said, news was simply left as the news, no spins to it and even politics were much more based middle of the road instead of based in lala land like the leftists today. Conservatives for the most part have tried to remain consistent through the years, but due to the left being so far off the rails there's so much polarization and nothing gets done for the people anymore, it's all about one side or the other battling for control instead of trying to meet halfway and passing bills that only contain relevant legislation to make this country prosperous again. Battling for control is needed at the moment because the lefts agenda is insane. If the liberals didn't have such looney views/priorities these days, real, worthwhile legislation could get passed instead of this current rabid focus on control which is solely maintained by dividing demographics into every category imaginable and catering to them. I got way off topic, but there it is. Lol Cheers to experiencing life before the digital age and God bless!
I was 2 years old in 1987 and we lived in Tempe on river Dr in an old apartment, I can remember when I was that age, we moved to my grandads house in the town of guadalupe, baseline heading to Phoenix was filled with orange orchards and Japanese sunflowers
Since nothing happened for decades this was around the time Tucson was opposing "all" transportation improvement projects. Freeways, expanded public transit, better roads, etc. I'm glad people there are finally coming to their senses and investing the money to make it a better place.
They tried those suicide lanes and the body count kept piling up. People just couldn't get the hang of it. I'm glad it's gone. Worst traffic management idea ever.
Where the Broadway goes under the 'peace train commerce IS peace)' there is a mosaic depicting some younger women who appear to be more than having 'eaten the cat'. Jojo left his home (body via orgasm)
Baby couldn't keep his pants on. And who snapped the photo that the mosaic is fashioned after? I don't think it was a Kodak or ab Archer. I'm beginning to suspect a Polaroid. And just up the road is a broad-way curve. Oh, baby. You gave everything away. Peace is no longer in your domain because you gave it all away to people who deceive. They even go so far as to swindle innocents by pretending to be retarded. It's a "broad-way". And they gave you a consolation by naming steers after you. That probably makes a lot of people happy when they . . .

Chiming in in September 2022 to say that I'm sure they'll finish any day now.
Wow Tucson in the 80s
2024, Broadway is widened now after 40 years and I can tell you it's improved a LOT.

Ugh, those horrible suicide lanes. I almost got into a head on collision with a wrong way driver on those.

I'm glad someone else enjoys these I remember I used to sit all the way in back on the bus and looked out the back window
I lived in Tucson 1985-1988. Visited for the first time two years ago and Broadway didn't seem any different.

I remember it well - loved it !!!
“The plans include doing nothing…” sounds like Tucson city planning
Been here for decades and not one thing has improved. Way to go Tucson 👌
That dude's line up on his beard is CRISP.
And still not improved. Now it's 2021
Spoiler alert they did nothing.
Born and raised in Tucson. Nothing has changed since 1971
They tried those suicide lanes and the body count kept piling up. People just couldn't get the hang of it. I'm glad it's gone. Worst traffic management idea ever.
And all they actually did was acquiesce to drivers and business as usual instead of looking for sustainable alternatives. I hate this.
"They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway."
I was a new born baby 👶
😂
Aww that's gross

Whaaaa?
They have no idea where the money will come from; what in the hell are they making plans for?
That’s DemocRATS for ya.
@@BloomingdaleTN lol. what did the o so amazing republicans do to help? did they wave their magical Jesus powered money wands?
Ufo at the 1:15 minute mark?
Tucson’s city council is a Joke!
2024 still hasn't happened
A bunch of idiots was running the town then and over 30years later its still the same 😂
I agree 100 percent
Still building that stupid light rail...
