 THE WESTSIDE STORY
RELINKING THE SEVERED DOWNTOWN TUCSON

Future of Downtown

When we envision the future of downtown, we see connections. The Mission

Districts tree-lined streets, buildings, plazas, and the streetcar will bridge
the gap between downtowns east and west.

In order to bridge the intangible gap, our vision is a reunion of our citys
urban traditions, culture, and ecological values with our creative,
technological, and structural development.

What Is Special

This area is one of the longest continually inhabited areas in North America;
it literally is Americas oldest neighborhood and Tucsons newest. Ultimately
what will make this place special is the community of people that live and
work here. The Mercado San Agustin has set a high bar for collaborating
with quality local merchants and food operators, and the MSA Annex
promises to continue in that tradition.
