The City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) will be conducting a design charrette for individuals and groups with an interest in the quarter mile focus area of the Tucson Modern Streetcar line (Sun Link). Interested neighbors, business owners, developers and all interested parties are encouraged to attend. The public process will begin with an opening reception on Monday, January 14, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.

A design charrette is a collaborative and open planning process conducted over multiple days. The goal of the Tucson Modern Streetcar Design Charrette is to listen to the community and stakeholders and to develop recommendations based on stakeholders input. A multidisciplinary team, consisting of stakeholders, community, support staff and consultants, will collaborate as part of this effort.

The Tucson Modern Streetcar Design Charrette will offer a variety of opportunities for public input including:

• Initial Visioning public meeting

• Strategy Meetings for identified areas within the Quarter Mile Focus Area of the Sun Link line

• One-on-one meetings for individuals or groups that prefer privacy

• A Public Open House

• A Final Presentation
