A cadre of Phoenix light rail fans, led by Cheryl Colan and Will Bradley, are encouraging other local residents to add to their collaborative public (Google) map of destinations easily reachable via Valley Metro’s light rail system. The goal of the map is to become a resource of the little, unknown, and wonderful places that are overlooked on “official” guides. Collaborators are urged to share their favorite businesses, restaurants, or even quiet scenic views. For details and to add to the map, click here.
Oh, there are other maps as well, including phxrailfood.com’s map of restaurants along the light rail route; RailLife.com’s interactive map of stations, park-and-ride lots, and traffic patterns; and Valley Metro’s maps of current lines and future transit corridors. Any others?

I’ve created a map of restaurants I’ve reviewed along the line:
