This project is to be completely funded, constructed, and operated by the City of Tucson and the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), but it will benefit the entire Tucson community, including UA students, faculty and staff. The Streetcar will provide new opportunities for UA engagement with our growing City Center, providing a quick, convenient and sustainable form of access to and from the campus, Main Gate Square, the Fourth Avenue Shopping District, and Downtown Tucson.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The construction is slated to kick-off in the <strong><u><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>first week of April</span></u></strong>. Construction will require the removal of nearly the entire road surface in many places and detours can be expected as tracks are installed. The first phase of the construction will include the Warren Underpass, which will be closed for approximately one year. Those using that underpass will be detoured to the Highland Underpass. Second Street from Warren Avenue to about Olive Street will be closed intermittently with the goal of having that street open for traffic before the Fall semester. The Cherry and Mountain cross streets will be maintained as much possible as will the pedestrian and bike crossings at Highland and Olive. Second Street Garage and access to the 3039 parking lot will also be maintained. We have been working closely with the city to minimize disruptions, but a project of this size will cause us to adjust our routes and could cause traffic delays. Additional construction will be happening off campus along the future Streetcar line.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>You can keep up to date with current project information and a route map at <a href="http://www.parking.arizona.edu">www.parking.arizona.edu</a>.
