TUCSON, Ariz. — On Bilby Road from Country Club Road to 12th Avenue, a city-sponsored study says there have been 60 crashes and two deaths from 2017 to 2021.The study looks at removing most of the two-way left turn lane, and also adding bike lanes, on-street parking, and speed tables to slow down drivers.Now, money from the voter-approved 'Prop 411' is bringing a major overhaul.As project manager Patrick Hartley says the input could make a big difference come construction time.
“The designs at this point are 15 percent design or conceptual, so there’s a lot of change that can happen at this point,” Hartley said.Melissa Soto Gonzalez hopes the area around Sunnyside High School makes it easier to pick her niece up from school. “I’m usually having to park on the other side then she has to cross the street, she’s 16 so it’s okay but it’s still worrisome," Gonzalez said.“You see a lot of activity in front of these schools so we want to make sure we are addressing that with the designs, improving it so it is safer for everybody,” Hartley said.If you couldn’t make the open house, there’s still an opportunity to have your voice heard for voice improvement.Adam Klepp is a reporter for KGUN 9.
