City News

On Tuesday, September 6, 2022, Borderland Construction, under contract with the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM), is scheduled to begin roadway improvements on Cushing Street from Granada Avenue to Stone Avenue, as part of the Proposition 101 - Tucson Delivers Better Streets Program.

On Aug. 23, Mayor and Council approved an amendment to the Unified Development Code to ensure that new commercial development in Tucson is Electric Vehicle (EV) ready. These new regulations would require all new commercial development, multi-family, office, and retail to include EV stations or outlets, as well as conduit to support future expansion of EV capacity.

These new requirements come after more than a year of stakeholder and public engagement, community input, and technical analysis to develop the proposal. The new regulations will go into effect on Dec.1, 2022.

Sometimes individuals in our community have needs and challenges that our various departments and agencies are just not well suited to addressing.  Sometimes an individual might have problems that require the assistance of multiple agencies or departments. Sometimes an individual just needs a little bit more focused care than others.  That’s where our new Community Safety, Health and Wellness team comes in.

Since 2021, Tucson has permitted Casitas or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in zones that allow residential uses. A Casita is a small, secondary home located on the same lot as an existing residence. More than a guesthouse or sleeping quarters, a Casita has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, living and sleeping space.
