Local roads are not included in the MS&R Map and are not being proposed to change. Local roads provide the highest access to neighborhoods but the lowest amount of mobility. Local roads usually connect a large volume of the street network to their nearest collector roads for short distances at slower speeds.

Gateway Corridor Zones are routes with special provisions to enhance the pedestrian environment along major transit routes. These provisions include landscaping, limits of certain signage (like billboards), and requirements for undergrounding utilities to provide an attractive streetscape.

Scenic Corridor Zones are routes with special provisions that apply 400 feet from the future right-of-way line. These provisions include the maintenance of a 30-ft wide natural buffer area from the future right-of-way and limits to building height and frontage to maximize scenic views of nearby natural resources.

Funding for Street Improvements - The City of Tucson has secured funding through the Tucson Delivers initiatives and related policies to improve street conditions and safety. These funding sources, which include voter-approved bond and sales tax measures, have specific allocations designated for different types of streets. If a street is reclassified—whether up (from Local to Collector or Collector to Arterial) or down (from Arterial to Collector or Collector to Local)—this change in classification does not impact its eligibility or selection in any approved programs. For any future funding sources or initiatives, the most current street classifications will be used to determine eligibility and funding distribution.
