Sycamore/Main St is a standard median light rail station and the only one in Mesa. It is the line's current western terminus. There is no real change when the line enters Mesa, just some welcome to signs and Tempe's boxy brown streetlights are replaced by Mesa's more conventional ones. The street name changes with Apache Blvd become Main Street, hence the difference in the station's name. Trains relay in the median of Main St beyond the station, where there two tracks that end with bumper blocks in the middle of the street. This means terminating trains enter the station discharge their passengers, continue beyond the station, reverse and change direction before reentering the station on the opposite track. The stop has the standard three canopy structures for an island platform. There are two entrances to the station, one at either end of the island platform. The main eastern one is to the western crosswalk of Sycamore, and just north of the station a bus loop with six bus bays can be found for transfers to continue into Mesa. There is a second unnamed station entrance at the opposite end of the station that is the driveways for the nearby strip malls. One of these routes includes Valley Metros attempt at BRT, the Arizona Avenue Rapid. There is also a Park-N-Ride lot here, and some suburban shops beyond their parking lots. The Tri-City in the station refers to a now destructed shopping mall.
Public Art Program: Brad Konic, some statues on the platform.
