Tucson launches 'Tucson Slow Streets' pilot

Tucson is launching the 'Tuscan Slow Streets' pilot program to provide space for safe physical activity, transportation, and recreation. Slow Streets will temporarily limit through-traffic with barricades, cones, and signs. Local traffic, emergency vehicles, environmental services, and delivery vehicles can use the designated streets. The program began with a test pilot installation launched on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 along a segment of the 4th Avenue Bicycle Boulevard from Grant Road to Speedway Boulevard. Staff and volunteers are collecting feedback on the program to explore further expansion. The project is a partnership between Feldman’s Neighborhood, Living Streets Alliance, the Department of Transportation & Mobility, Families United Gaining Accessibility, and Tucson Parks & Recreation, with support from the Mayor and City Council Wards 3 and 6.
