TUCSON (KVOA) – On Friday, the Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM) for the city of Tucson announced it was seeking community input on two alternative options to improve First Avenue between Grant Road and River Road.

According to a TDOT press release, the first alternative would leave First Avenue in its current four-lane configuration while modernizing the corridor to improve safety, improve traffic lights, improve comfort and access for pedestrians and cyclists, and to install a new landscaping.

The second alternative would expand First Avenue to six lanes and modernize the corridor, including traffic lights, improved bike lanes, frequent safe crossings, raised central islands, congestion reduction, continuous walkways, and improved landscaping.

“The First Avenue alternatives were developed through the recently completed First Avenue needs assessment. The needs assessment was conducted to assess current corridor deficiencies and needs in preparation for the First Avenue improvement project,” TDOT said in a press release.

To learn more and provide feedback on project alternatives, according to TDOT, you can visit http://bit.ly/1stavetucson or write FIRST at (520) 210-5707.

You can also take part in the two virtual town halls taking place on Tuesday 29 June 2021 and Thursday 15 July.

According to TDOT, this project is part of the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) plan but is administered by the city.
