At the request of Mayor and Council, the City of Tucson is considering changes to the zoning code to allow Accessory Dwelling Units. An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is an independent housing unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, living and sleeping space, built on the same lot as a primary residence. These units have been legalized in other communities in order to create more affordable housing, support multi-generational households and provide more options for residents who wish to age in place.

On Tuesday, February 9, 2021, at approximately 4 a.m., northbound and southbound traffic on Campbell Avenue will be shifted to the east side of the roadway north and south of Broadway. This traffic shift will allow work crews to install a new underground water line through the Campbell Avenue and Broadway intersection.
