Modern Street Car an asset to travel from the U of A to Downtown
I was fortunate to attend a Tucson Green Committee meeting a few weeks ago that provided great information on the Modern Street Car, its implications on the city of Tucson, and also up to date information on the growth of the University of Arizona student body in the next few years.
If you haven’t already noticed downtown is actually beginning to transform after many years of ineffective planning, decisions, and promises.
We went to Dinner at a new restaurant called “the Hub” downtown last week and we really impressed by how many people are now actually making downtown Tucson a destination….
Something that I obtained from the Green Committee meeting, is that we will see more development in the next few years, and that there are many businesses vying for an opportunity to be on the Modern Street Car path and in the downtown area.
The Tucson Electric Power Company building is quickly coming to fruition, as well as the new car park on the corner of 4th Ave. The Car Park will also help with some of the parking complaints that often arise about the downtown area. There is actually parking but it is not easily found……
The Modern Street Car will start its journey on the East side of the University of Arizona Campus,down 4th Avenue, Congress St, and travel across the Freeway to the Mercado District.
It was also announced that we can expect around 10,00 more students at the University of Arizona in the next few years, so housing and real estate around the University should be a premium with limited housing already in place.
The Modern Street Car will help off campus students and planned off campus College Faculties communicate very easily with the central College hub.
We are looking forward to the ride!
