For Star subscribers: The 'separate bridge' for pedestrians and bicyclists on Tucson's new 22nd Street bridge project has morphed into a protected lane that forces people to cross traffic at the bottom.
Tim Steller When Tucson applied for a federal grant to build a new 22nd Street bridge, the plan for pedestrians seemed pretty clear.
A 2014 city document explained it this way:"Entry and egress to this separate bridge structure will be provided from ground level at either end of the bridge adjacent to the bridge abutments. The pedestrian/bicycle bridge will connect to existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including the multi-use pedestrian/bicycle facility paralleling the Maclovio Barraza Parkway and the newly constructed path on the north side of 22nd Street.
Where people emerge on foot or bike at either base of the bridge, there would be HAWK lights on both sides of this central strip. So, pedestrians or cyclists using the protected lane would have to stop traffic and cross three lanes either to the north or the south to leave the center of traffic. "This 22nd Street project was framed as a connectivity and social equity project and investment in infrastructure to create safer ways for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists," Arroyo Chico resident Jose Munoz wrote in an email.
Cynthia Ayala, president of the Pueblo Gardens Neighborhood Association, told me Tuesday, when she looked at the HAWK lights at the bottom of the bridge slope:"I think that’s a terrible accident waiting to happen."
