Say YES to smart development and NO to another bad alignment plan for Broadway. Why would we spend $75 million for no appreciable improvement in traffic?
The Tucson Mayor and Council decided at their April 19th Regular Meeting on how to proceed with the 30% design proposal on the table.
We urge you to sign the popular "Vote No Widening" petition below sponsored by the Broadway Coalition and ALSO submit your "opposing" comments on the 30% Design here at the City's website:
http://broadwayboulevard.info/comments.php
On April 19th, the City of Tucson voted to:
1) Widen Historic Broadway even though traffic hasn't increased for 20 years,
2) Demolish 30+ buildings and businesses, and
3) Ignore the community's overwhelming plea to design a vibrant, history and place-preserving, climate-friendly future where local businesses thrive and more people prefer to safely walk, bike, and use public transit.
The City’s alignment plan sets a horrible precedent for our economic future!
Stop wasteful public spending on unnecessary widening of roads when we need to revitalize our historic places leading into Downtown Tucson, repave our existing streets, and invest in alternatives to more cars.
I agree we should not widen Historic Broadway.
If you agree, please take the next step in supporting this popular cause and let our Mayor and City Council know your thoughts.

Historic resources are non-renewable. You don't just "rebuild" history; once tangible links are gone, they' gone forever. This project is irresponsible financially and a betrayal of public input. The Mayor and Council should be ashamed to approve it.
I recall standing in the parking lot of The First Assembly of God church on Broadway at the not-so-busy rush hour listening to Kozachik explain why the widening of Broadway was unnecessary. I still agree with him and hope he and the council do the right thing.
I bike commuted 5 days a week down this stretch of Broadway last year. Expansion of Broadway, and the probable additional traffic that will bring, will have a huge negative effect on bike commuting. Let's not turn Tucson into another Phoenix!
Broadway is fine as it is. Please don't waste $75 million that could be better utilized. There is no justifiable need for demolishing buildings and businesses and a part of Tucson dear to many of us. Don't repeat what Tucson did to the barrio. Please!
This project is outdated not to mention no benefit to road travel. Huge devastation to our community we need to be fighting to keep these historical buildings not how can we demolish them. Do the right thing Tucson Broadway BLVD needs to be saved not PAVED!!!!!.

I walked across the country and witnessed communities that were rebuilding their culture and identity through resiliency planning and gardens; not by more roads! This project will not reduce our carbon footprint and it will worsen our heat-island effect.
