5th/6th Street Livability & Circulation Study
Relevant Plans & Guidelines
City Standards
The City of Tucson Department of Transportation provides Landscape Design Guidelines for public right-of-ways. The intent of these Landscape Architectural Guiding Principles are to remain in conformance with the Department’s Guidelines.
As the project progresses into Phase III, these Guiding Principles will be further developed to identify greater specificity along the corridor segments. Design guidelines will be developed to within the parameters of the Guiding Principles and will need to maintain conformance with the Department’s landscape guidelines to accommodate City-wide uniformity and easy of maintenance. If there are any variances to the Department of Transportation’s Landscape Guidelines, they will need to be discussed with the Department’s Landscape Architect.
Stone Avenue
The City of Tucson has recently completed the Stone Avenue Corridor Study. The landscape recommendations include specialty treatment at significant intersections. Stone Avenue/6th Street would be one such intersection.
The Guiding Principles recommended in this report interface with the recommendations of the Landscape Guidelines for Stone Avenue.
Barraza-Aviation Parkway General Plan
The west end of this study interfaces with the Barraza-Aviation Parkway. The Guiding Principles recommended by this report would not adversely affect the landscape design proposed for the Barraza-Aviation Parkway corridor.
