Unless it's a sufficient bridge, there will be more congestion. Marcus was first to remind District 4 voters of Los Angeles' move to stagger work schedules during the 1984 Olympics. And then they forgot. Even has since appropriated the suggestion, to Marcus' mild amusement. She took off with it.
Light timing is perhaps the most obvious of such solutions.
Light rail, another of Tucson' on-off planning items, won't work, Marcus says, because housing densities here, ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 per square mile, are too low. Bus ridership must be increased, says Marcus, who adds he once lost two hours trying to get from his northeast side home to his southside office on SunTran. Carroll also wants to beef up service during winter snowbird season with special tour buses. Carroll says District 4 should be pleased with the projects it got out of last year's bond election, which, incidentally, failed in Green Valley. The more cops we have responding to fender benders, the less time they are out solving crimes.
