City officials are designing the future of mass-transit between the Tucson Mall and Tucson International Airport, and they're seeking community input on the plan so far.
By Eva-Marie Hube For The Arizona Daily Star The cities of Tucson and South Tucson are seeking comments from the community on the early stages of a strategic plan for a transit line connecting Tucson International Airport and the Tucson Mall through downtown.
The focus on equitability helps ensure that a development serves the needs of existing residents, particularly those most vulnerable, and safeguards against their displacement. Cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Vancouver, Washington, have adopted similar principles through grant programs and voter-approved measures.
Rapid transitMove Tucson, Tucson's city-wide transportation master plan, identified the Tucson Norte-Sur corridor as a priority for high-capacity transit, with options including more buses, a streetcar or even light rail. Though the Tucson Norte-Sur website explicitly states that the eTOD planning process will not determine the specific type of transit to be used, Sansom said rapid is the operative word. Whether by bus or by rail, he said, that means transit-only lanes, real-time arrival, express lines and fewer stops.
Outreach ongoingSansom said the team has already collected vast amounts of data and feedback, thanks to more than a dozen community ambassadors who completed approximately 150 hours of outreach within the study area neighborhoods. She said it is crucial for residents and business owners to provide their input before the real planning starts. They need to have a seat at the table.
