IGTIGT Phase I Summary Statements - Draft 2/18/11

Summary Number: 6
 
Increase the quality and variety of nearby amenities and venues.
 
 "A professional place for talent to perform in a comfortable and suitable environment would add opportunities for major entertainment that by passes Tucson now."
 "Tucson can create a charming downtown core and outlying areas can develop similar mini cores where people can congregate for recreation, shopping etc. There is no evidence of such planning in the development of these areas, in spite of what Rio Nuevo was supposed to be, since it did not happen. Creativity needs to be applied to this town, and it should be a requirement."
 "Saks, Niemans, not even a lowly Nordstroms. One decent shopping center in town (La Encantada) no men's store, no butcher shops, no bakery, nothing except tire stores."
 "Green Valley Village to be the core of the town (poorly designed shopping center, no downtown)"
 "Need more mixed, flexible use � must be done appropriately � stakeholder input � pocket park (example)"
 "Better parking downtown when attending music hall and convention center"
