TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT AT FIFTH AND ALVERNON
TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
FIFTH STREET AND ALVERNON WAY INTERSECTION
On Thursday, January 20, 2022, crews from Next Generation Electrical, under contract with the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM), are scheduled to convert the traffic signal heads to include flashing yellow arrows at the Fifth Street and Alvernon Way intersection.
Work will take place from about 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., the same day. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances.

During the work, the traffic signals will not be in operation. In addition, lane restrictions will be in place at the intersection for all travel directions.

Law enforcement officers will be on site to direct travel through the intersection until the work is complete. The traveling public can expect delays when driving in the work area. Please obey all traffic control signs and watch for law enforcement officers and construction personnel in the area.

DTM is upgrading intersections throughout the community with flashing yellow left turn arrows to improve safety. Research has indicated that left turn collisions are reduced with flashing yellow arrows. The conversion to flashing yellow arrows also provides operational flexibility; during certain times of the day, left turns can be prohibited unless there is a green arrow. Also, when pedestrians want to cross parallel to traffic, left turning traffic can be stopped with a red arrow until the pedestrian has safely crossed the intersection.
During a flashing left turn arrow, motorists should yield to pedestrians, oncoming motorists and bicyclists and proceed with caution when turning left.
REPLACING STOLEN OR DAMAGED TRASH AND RECYCLING CANS
STOLEN TRASH AND RECYCLING CANS - Two homeless men were observed stealing the rolling City trash container from a home on Justin last weekend. They loaded it full of possessions they had been carrying and used the can like a wagon to carry everything. Some residents saw the men wheeling the can west on Justin and then east on Seneca, but not where the men ended up taking it. A Trash Container and a Reycling bin were also reported stolen from the side of a home on Seneca.

This recycling can was abandoned at the bus stop. A dog walker took the initiative to call the number on the bus stop to report it and Sun Tran said they would come and remove it, but not until the beginning of next week probably.

If your trash or recycling can is every stolen, please report it online to police. The link to file an online police report is in every newsletter. You will not hear back from police, but the incident is entered in the system and used to help determine what kind of criminal activity we are having and what police resources are needed in our area.

REQUEST A FREE REPLACEMENT TRASH OR RECYCLING BIN: Does not matter if it was stolen or is damaged, you can quickly and easily request a new trash or recycling can from Environmental Services for no charge. Either use the Recycling Coach app or call ES Customer Service at 520-791-3171 or contact ES online.
HOMELESS CAMP ON BELLEVUE DISBANDED
This week, SE Quadrant (Pima to Speedway, Columbus to Swan) residents, businesses, and members of the GDNA Board met with Councilmember Steve Kozachik, Assistant Chief Kevin Hall, Captain Michelle Pickrom, Lt Allen, Lt. Archibald, General Services Director Carlos DeLaTorre, and other police and Code Enforcement personnel to address some of the issues in the area Pima to Speedway, Columbus to Swan.

The Homeless camp behind Pep Boys on Bellevue had grown and become a serious safety and health issue for nearby residents this week. With the help of the Ward VI office, the Homeless Outreach Team, Code Enforcement, and Tuscon Police, the camp has moved and the area is cleaned up around it.

Code Enforcement and Tucson Police will continue to work with residents and businesses to direct services and address other concerns in the area
 
Also, five Rookies will be graduating from the Tucson Police Academy and assigned to our 44 square mile Midtown Division in March. As part of their first year training, they will do a community service project. The Rookies will be working to organize Business Crime Watches in our area. The businesses on both sides of Speedway and on Grant will be some of the targets we hope. The officers will work with the businesses to improve security and also connect businesses to share information and concerns with one another.

Contact TPD's Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), if you know of homeless individuals who need to be loved from their current camping location and/or who need housing, medical care, food, drug rehab, mental health support, etc. HOT works closely with numerour service agencies in the City.

EMERGENCY FOSTERS NEEDED, FREE ADOPTIONS, HOLD ONTO FOUND ANIMALS - STAFF SHORTAGES AT PIMA ANIMAL CARE CENTER
Emergency fosters needed due to COVID-related staff shortages
PIMA COUNTY, Jan. 20, 2022 –Pima Animal Care Center is asking members of the public to either adopt pets or commit to fostering a pet for two weeks to help empty the shelter due to a critical COVID-related shortage of staff. Shelter officials also are asking people to avoid surrendering healthy pets, following the guidance provided by the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA). NACA is advising animal shelters to take extra measures to reduce shelter intake to mitigate the short- and long-term effects of COVID-19.
Monica Dangler, Director of Animal Services at PACC, said adoptions will continue, and Animal Protection Officers will continue to answer high priority and emergency calls. Those calls include responding to injured or sick stray animals, cruelty and neglect complaints, bite complaints, dangerous and aggressive dog complaints, and more.
“We’ve been at capacity since June and now we are hitting a critical low in staffing due to the contagiousness of the Omicron variant,” Dangler said. “Like many other businesses right now, we are seeing staff members getting sick despite being vaccinated, so we need to drastically reduce the number of pets in the shelter to be able to provide proper care.”
There are seven ways people can help the shelter.
  1. FOSTERS NEEDED: The shelter is also looking for around 300 emergency fosters, who can immediately house a pet for at least two weeks. PACC will need fosters for all types of pets but housing for medium and large dogs and pets with medical issues will be most needed. PACC provides vet care, crates, supplies, and food. People interested in fostering can stop by the shelter during business hours to pick out a foster pet.
  2. ADOPTION FEES WAIVED: Help PACC create a cushion of space by adopting a pet today. The shelter needs adoptions to continue to avoid critical overcrowding during the upcoming kitten and puppy season which will start in the next one to two weeks.
The shelter is also offering extended hours Jan. 20-22 in hopes of getting more pets into the homes of Pima County residents:
Thursday and Friday: noon to 9 p.m.
Saturday: 10 a.m until 7 p.m.
All pets at the shelter currently have $0 adoption fees. There is an additional $20 licensing fee per each adopted dog over the age of 4 months.

  1. HANG ONTO FRIENDLY STRAY PETS: PACC is also asking people who find friendly stray pets to consider fostering them for two weeks until the shelter can resume normal operations. Pets typically stay close to home when they go missing, so this helps get pets home much more quickly, without having to endure the stress of the shelter. Stray finders can take the pet to a vet clinic or to PACC to check for a microchip, file a found report, and hold the pet to give the owner time to locate it. Finders can file a found report by texting “FOUND” to (833) 552-0591.
PACC is accepting emergency-only intake and is trying to keep the number of pets in the shelter as low as possible to prepare for the coming weeks of higher-than-usual intake. The shelter is asking pet owners who would like to surrender their pets to hold onto them during this outbreak, unless it is a true emergency.
“Every day we take in more pets than are getting adopted,” Dangler said. “Weeks and weeks of this has led to a shelter full of pets. It was difficult before but now it’s beyond difficult.”
  1. LEAVE KITTENS ALONE: Unless the kittens are sick or in immediate danger, the shelter is asking people to leave them with their mothers, where they have the best chance of survival. Here is a helpful page on when kittens should be taken to the shelter.
  2. PLAN AHEAD: Pet owners are encouraged to make plans for their pets in case someone in the home falls ill. People should stock up on two extra weeks of pet supplies and identify a pet sitter who can help out if the pet owner becomes hospitalized. 
The safest place for pets is in their own home, so people should be asking family members, neighbors, or friends if they could care for their pets if they happen to be hospitalized. Pet owners should write down their pet’s diet and feeding schedule, any medications they need, and other special instructions.
  1. SPREAD THE WORD: People can tell their friends, family and coworkers that PACC needs adopters, fosters and donations to continue to sustain the lifesaving efforts. People can share our posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
All pets adopted will come spayed or neutered, with age-appropriate vaccinations, a microchip and a free vet visit with participating vet clinics. A $20 licensing fee will apply to dogs. PACC is located at 4000 N. Silverbell Road.
  1. DONATIONS NEEDED: People who can’t adopt or foster can make a donation to PACC’s official nonprofit partner, Friends of Pima Animal Care Center. Friends of PACC needs help purchasing foster supplies, providing emergency medical funding for sick and injured animals, and providing support to vulnerable pet owners. Donations can be made at friendsofpacc.org/support-us.
Most needed items are:
  • Large crates
  • 42” or larger exercise pens
  • Food
  • Leashes
  • Collars
  • Harnesses
Critical items can also be purchased directly from the shelter’s Amazon Wish List and shipped directly to PACC.
COVID INFORMATION: For information about local impacts of coronavirus on humans and guidance for keeping yourself and others healthy, please follow the dedicated page on the Pima County Health Department website: www.pima.gov/covid19.
DECEASED BLACK AND WHITE CAT FOUND
I'm sad to say a black and white cat was found deceased yesterday in the 4200 block of Linden, west of Columbus. A coyote had killed it.

When walking my dog this morning, I was also stopped by a neighbor on Walnut and Seneca. He said that there have been two coyotes seen frequently in the area that are very comfortable and unafraid of humans and dogs. He was walking his two large dogs and the coyotes trotted by them on the other side of the street and did not give the dogs a second glance.

A reminder that the safest thing to do for a coyote is keep them afraid and wary of people. Shout, stamp your feet, wave your arms when you see them.
COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE TRAVELING TO LIBRARIES TO HELP WITH TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAMS FOR WIDOWS/WIDOWERS AND DISABLED RESIDENTS
The Pima County Assessor's Office will be traveling to public libraries throughout the county to kick off its annual outreach efforts. Pima County Assessor Suzanne Droubie says the library visits will help citizens who find it difficult to get to the Assessor's Office in Downtown Tucson.Assessor's staff will help eligible widows, widowers, and disabled residents with their exemption applications for their primary residence. For those who qualify, these programs will reduce the taxable amount due on their primary residences, which may lower their overall property tax bills. The deadline to apply is March 1, but people may file a waiver to give them more time to apply. When Notice of Value statements arrive in the mail in late February, Assessor's Office staff will be available to answer questions about those statements and how they relate to property tax bills. Follow the link below for a schedule of the Assessor's Office library visits.

Low Income Water Support
While I’m on the topic of saving money, I want to remind you of the Tucson Water low-income water rate reduction plan. Participation in it has grown each year since we adopted it in 2013. This chart shows that growth. We began with roughly 2,100 participants. Now we’ve got over 5,500. The average annual savings for those families is just under $300, so it’s worth taking a look at.

The amount you can benefit is based on your family size and income. We have 3 different tiers of savings ranging from a 25% reduction to a 75% reduction in your bill. You can use this table to see if and where your family qualifies. Soon we’ll be considering ways to expand this program, but you don’t need to wait on that in order to get included. If you’ve got questions, go to https://www.tucsonaz.gov/water, and there’s a link right on the main page. Or give us a call at the Ward office at 791.4601, and we’ll help you get connected to the program.
