I really like the 5th one here (it includes the possibility of light rail): http://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/projec...udy-01ksV2.pdf
I like the 2nd one here (again, light rail): http://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/projec...ernativeV2.pdf
Here's the link to the whole project: http://www.tucsonaz.gov/broadway
Yes, I agree. It'd be foolish to design this without the possibility of light rail. Considering how many structures must be cleared for the project we need to make a road that won't need to be expanded in the future. A light rail won't need to be widened, you just need extra trains. I also like the bike road but if we can't fit it in then don't.
Being the road that many people base their impressions of Tucson on, I'd suggest trees a tad bit nicer than our humble mesquites and palo verdes. Some Chinese Pistache trees would really improve the aesthetics on Broadway
