Toole Avenue Complete Streets Project Congress Street to Stone Avenue

Congress Street to Stone Avenue

The City of Tucson, in partnership with Rio Nuevo, is planning a holistic redesign of Toole Avenue from Congress Street to Stone Avenue

The project runs through the heart of downtown Tucson’s Warehouse District, a collection of warehouses built mainly in the early 20th century for industrial uses. During the ’70s and ’80s, with industry moving to other parts of the city, the buildings were re-purposed as art studios, galleries, and more recently restaurants, breweries, and other commercial businesses.

The Toole Ave. Streetscape Plan will integrate with future projects like Ronstadt and Downtown Links while looking at the needs of current and future businesses.
