The City of Tucson Department of Transportation & Mobility (DTM) is seeking input from the public on the design of the Stone Avenue Complete Street Project. Using temporary materials, DTM staff will set up a “pop-up” demonstration of the proposed street design, which includes a 2-way protected bike lane (also known as separated bike lane or cycle track). DTM staff will also have tables set up with preliminary designs for Stone Avenue between Alameda Street and Ochoa Street at Park(ing) Day and would like to invite the public to review plans, ask questions, share concerns, and provide the project design teams with suggestions.

Join DTM staff to learn more and give input during Park(ing) Day:

Friday, September 15, 2023 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Stone Avenue Complete Street Temporary Demonstration Stone Avenue just south of Alameda Street

More about Park(ing) Day:

Park(ing) Day is a global event where the public participates in temporarily rethinking curbside parking spaces and converts them into mini green spaces, interactive places for gathering and fun! Join us for games, pop-up food vendors, pollinator parks, and a protected bike lane demonstration.

During the event, the southbound left travel lane on Stone Avenue between Alameda Street and Pennington Street will be closed. Electronic message boards will be in place to alert motorists of the lane closure. 

Motorists can expect delays associated with this event so please plan accordingly. The traveling public should use caution when driving, bicycling, or walking in this area. Please watch for event participants and obey all traffic control.

More about the Stone Ave Complete Street Project:

Stone Avenue from First Street to Broadway Boulevard will be resurfaced in early 2024 as part of Tucson's Proposition 101 - Tucson Delivers Better Streets Program. Roadway lane markings and crosswalks will be refreshed after paving, and curb ramps will be reconstructed to improve the pedestrian experience and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.

The repaving work also presents an opportunity to redesign the street in a way that will make it function better for people walking and biking. This project will extend the existing 2-way protected bike lane south from Alameda Street through Downtown to Ochoa Street, where the 2-way bike lane facility will transition to directional bike lanes on both sides of the street.
