| Develop transportation plans that emphasize transportation options for all residents and that facilitate ease of travel to all parts of the region |
| |
| | "The built environment creates the culture we live in. The current approach to planning (Euclidean zoning regulations) leads to transportation problems (car dependency), which in turn results in laziness" |
| | "Tucson's lack of a cross-town freeway and loop system is city planning malpractice at its finest! The poor road system in Tucson makes driving a nightmare in any part of town." |
| | "Hard to travel around-Tucson is not that big and has never aggressively addressed this issue." |
| | "The traffic is too congested. Something needs to be improved. There are various road projects taking place, which is good, but Tucson needs to grow up and realize they are a big city and plan transportation accordingly." |
| | "I am frustrated by the lack of planning and coordination of road construction as it seems to make little sense to cause bottlenecks all over the city at the same time. Not to mention how very long it takes to complete a project." |
| | "Tucson is in danger of becoming as big and ungainly as Phoenix. The low-density development and sprawl wastes resources and threatens the natural beauty of our surroundings. I worry that the city planning will deter from the creation of a good mass transit system." |
| | "The small town planning has to stop. It is a source of anguish to see how traffic is handled, how the streets still are built as if this is a small town. There is a huge amount of traffic out there. There needs to be better planning." |
| | "Like the bike friendly planning." |
| | "Unfortunately, the city of Tucson developed without much planning or vision. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to just get across town. We need a cross-town freeway/expressway running east to west. I personally avoid doing any business on the west side of town (and I mean west of Campbell) because it takes me so long to get there from my home (near Wilmot). I have many friends who feel the same way, and it must be hurting business." |
| | "As an advocate of modes of transportation other than those using fossil fuels, i appreciate the city's willingness to provide decent routes for those who choose to ride a bicycle." |
| | "I know road construction is needed, but I think there needs to be a better plan in place so there is limited construction during rush hour traffic, especially on the freeways. In town, parallel roads should not have simultaneous construction. We need better alternate paths." |
| | "There needs to be a better infrastructure plan. With a growing community, we cannot rely on just our own individual vehicles. This is why we are in the traffic mess we are in today, with an RTA program readily admitting that those monies are like a downpayment on a much larger and costly problem. There should be a light rail or similar transit system available for this community." |
| | "We need to find better mass and rapid transit in Tucson, and between Tucson and Phoenix. If we don't want to end up like L.A. or Phoenix, we must look into innovative and energy efficient transportation alternatives." |
