Rio Nuevo is working with stakeholders, including Project for Public Spaces, on shaping the vision for the future of the Sunshine Mile located on Broadway Blvd between Euclid and Country Club. Improvements will strengthen the area, bring the community together and bring new life to the gateway into downtown Tucson. Public forums and focus groups have been held to ensure that the community is involved in the process and can help shape that vision.
Rio Nuevo will acquire 39 unique properties that include Solot Plaza, “Donut Hole” Lot and the Bungalow Block and is currently working on creating an overlay zone for the Sunshine Mile. An overlay zone will provide more opportunities for future development, historic preservation and overall increase the possibilities to create unique, inviting and activated space for the community.
The City of Tucson will begin construction on the Broadway widening in late 2019 that will include bike lanes, sidewalk improvements, landscaping and more.
