Off-Street Parking Plan Reignites Tucson Hopeful Rationale
A New York consultants report endorses Tucson’s off street parking plan, confirming a 1960s Citizens committee view. Phase One would build two garages on Church Ave opposite the Courthouse and near N Sixth Ave and Alameda with 846 spaces at an estimated total cost of 2.5 million dollars funded by revenue bonds. The plan aims to relieve curb congestion downtown by removing on street parking and creating self liquidating facilities over 30 years, with final drafting after June 15 and action soon thereafter.
