Marana Citizens Forum on transportation push for master plan
Earlier this year, the Town of Marana hosted several public meetings to collect input from residents on transportation and connectivity goals within the community. At a council meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3, the results of those meetings were presented to the council with some interesting recommendations.
Chris Deyoung, a delegate of the Citizens Forum, addressed the council with items of importance that residents would like to see in future years. The overall objective is to get their recommendations included in the town’s Transportation Master Plan and the Regional Transportation Authority II initiative.
The current 20-year, $2.1 billion RTA plan was approved by Pima County voters in 2006. It will be up for continuation in 2026, with a whole new list of priorities and projects stemming from the various local jurisdictions within Pima County, including Marana. The RTA is an independent entity managed by the Pima Association of Governments.
