This map on the Tucson BRT site seems to confirm Stone as the preferred alignment:

I think Stone Ave is a complete waste of money. There are few businesses along the route. First off it should have been the streetcar along Oracle. But even choosing the BRT, it needs to pass businesses and places people go. Does the city think people at Tucson Mall are in a rush to get downtown or vice versa? For what? Is their other possible idea is they think people from downtown wanting to go to Target on Roger Rd are gonna get off at Roger and Stone and walk 2-3 blocks west in the middle of summer in 110 weather? Tucson officials' concept of transportation is ridiculous.
