Modern Streetcars on Track to Begin in 2011
10.30.2009
By Jeff Harrison, University Communications.
The Federal Transit Administration has approved the most recent phase of the Modern Streetcar project, the latest benchmark toward constructing a public rail line that will, when completed, traverse through the University of Arizona campus.
The line also will stitch together the UA with the West University neighborhood, the Fourth Avenue district, Downtown and the Rio Nuevo project.
A 1.1-mile segment of the 3.9-mile modern streetcar system will run from Helen Street and Campbell Avenue through the Warren Avenue underpass and along Second Street to Park Avenue.
University and Tucson officials say the project addresses the need to connect some of the city's major centers, and will benefit students, local residents and visitors without further aggravating traffic.
