The long-awaited construction on 3-mile stretch of First Avenue has hit another roadblock as the RTA asks for more analysis before Tucson's preferred four-lane version of the project goes forward.
Nicole Ludden Tucson is facing another setback from the Regional Transportation Authority in a key construction project on a three-mile stretch of North First Avenue known for high numbers of pedestrian fatalities.
The First Avenue project will instead go through the RTA’s corridor planning process to study both the four- and six-lane options that Executive Director Farhad Moghimi said could take around a year to complete. Marana Mayor Ed Honea said, “All this stuff is being done by the city exclusively,” and that there should be more regional input on the scope reduction. Sahuarita Mayor Thomas Murphy expressed hesitation in changing the project from what voters approved in 2006.
The corridor planning process is required for all RTA projects, but the city worries restarting the outreach and technical study processes it already conducted will only further delay the project’s delivery. “Delaying and doing another study means increased deaths and injuries to people, because the the safety features won’t be put in. It means increased costs, because we're in a time of inflation and supply chain problems,” Dahl said.
