A Linear Park becoming possible-Park to Santa Rita!

Tucson Clean and Beautiful looks over the landscape plans with neighbors |
Tucson Clean and Beautiful staff, Tom Ellis and Katie Gannon, met with neighborhood representatives, Ward III staff, and the results of the on-line survey to begin the plans for the proposed linear park from Park Ave to Santa Rita. The six landscape plans submitted by UA graduate class plus the on-line comments were considered in consult with a city engineer to determine what features were possible. Lots of details to consider. For example, the new regulations say Decomposed Granite is no longer ADA compliant. Who knew?
Next TCB will be clarifying the steps to completing the initial requirements for a survey and preliminary grading. What a great example of the City, the Transportation Department, RTA, and neighborhoods all working together to create a better Tucson!
