A message from Council Member Schubert
Welcome to Fall!
I write this to you on a lively Thursday afternoon here at the Ward 6 office in midtown Tucson. Long-time volunteer Mark Crum is manning the front desk, some of us are at our desks typing or on the phone, Elaina walked to the post office, and I can hear chatter coming from the back where Victoria is giving a local reporter a tour of our new Resource Center.
 Chill Space, transform and roll out!
As per usual, this week flew by since we had a Mayor & Council Study Session and Regular Meeting this past Tuesday. The days prior to meetings are typically devoted to prep, which includes pulling notes and information together, communicating with department staff and fellow Council Members, and making time for last-minute briefings.
Closing out the Week Without Driving added an additional layer of logistics and has renewed my interest in riding the bus more. Did you get a chance to convert one of your car trips to another mode? I know that a Week Without (or With Less) Driving wouldn’t be as catchy of a title, but the goal is really to get people to think outside the car when it comes to getting from point A to point B. Let me know if you have any observations to share.
Looking back to Monday, the day was truly packed! Meetings took place throughout the day, bookended by a morning check-in with City Manager Thomure and a check-in at the end of the workday with Mayor Romero. Between meetings, I checked in with a couple of my Council colleagues about a few agenda items of interest. And in honor of the Week Without Driving, I walked over to my friend’s house nearby while admiring the sky:
 Welcome to popcorn sunset season
It was lovely to start Tuesday off by catching up with a friend over beverages at the new Talega Cafe location on the corner of Alameda and Church. The bike ride felt especially breezy and autumnal. You can click over to Mayor & Council Recap for details about what happened at the table and dais.
I was thankful that the previous day’s meetings weren’t too egregiously long—around 7 hours total—since Wednesday was another whirlwind! That morning, we had our communications strategy weekly meeting and then I jumped into a meeting with a group of engaged constituents and County staff from District 5 and Flood Control about flooding issues in midtown and plans to build a stormwater park in an underutilized parking lot. Later in the day was my regular check-in with AFSCME, the City union that represents blue color workers. I always enjoy catching up with workers and hearing about their experiences, because I think workplace culture is a crucial part of job satisfaction and ensuring effective delivery of city services.
That night was our Elections 2026 Town Hall focused on staffing, security, and emergency protocols for voting sites leading up to and on Election Day (November 3rd.). Many thanks to Security Manager John Stuckey (Pima County), Lt. Rudy Dominguez (TPD), Chief Civil Deputy Attorney Sam Brown (Pima County Attorney’s Office), and Assistant Chief Stacie Schaner (TPD) for fielding questions from attendees thoughtfully, helpfully, and specifically. We appreciate everyone who came to the session in person and virtually with their questions and concerns. I love holding interactive events like this, especially when receiving more information can help put people’s minds a bit more at ease.
 Alice Walker: “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.”
Early voting officially kicked off on October 7th, and we will be sure to include information in future newsletters about early voting, mail-in voting, and Election Day safety, procedures, and other helpful tips, so stay tuned!
At the end of the day on Friday, W6 Council Advisor Lisa and I will be stopping into businesses along 4th Avenue to connect directly and provide up-to-date information about work underway related to parking. Feel free to look at that info down in Policies and Projects of Note (Fourth Ave Businesss Updates) if you’re curious to know more.
I’m extra excited about the birthday party for nearby venue La Rosa happening that evening. It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole year since it opened! On Saturday I hope to see you at Armory Park for Poets in the Park. It should be a beautiful evening of creativity and community.
 This weekend also marks the start of so I’m hoping to make it out to a local restaurant or two. Congrats to Feng-Feng Yeh for continuing to grow this beautiful project centered on history and solidarity. You can read more .
 Whatever you get up to this weekend, I hope you find some time to give yourself a little treat.

Mayor and Council Recap
Council Member Schubert joined her Mayor & Council colleagues at City Hall on Tuesday for the first October meeting of the month - read on for some of the highlights.
And as a reminder, you can view the full meeting recordings on the City of Tucson’s Livestream YouTube channel and find materials + meeting summaries (including legal action reports) from past and future meetings on the City’s Mayor & Council meeting agenda webpage.
Infrastructure Updates
Staff from the Parks and Recreation and Transportation and Mobility departments attended Tuesday’s meeting to share updates about City services funded by for voter-approved Propositions 101, 407, 409 and 411. M&C were shown a video and provided with a PowerPoint presentation that highlighted the projects under these propositions and their progress.
Major Ward 6 projects supported by these initiatives include:
-
Bike Boulevards on 5th street and the 9th/7th streets
-
Installations of three HAWK Signals
-
Extensive network of neighborhood streets revitalization (with more to come!)
-
Road and walkability improvements on 5th Street
-
Protected bike lanes on 6th Ave
In addition to sharing updates, staff also discussed the importance of designating funds for maintenance and repairs. Maintenance is partially funded at this time, and the major improvements allow staff to work more efficiently by reducing the need for frequent minor repairs (i.e. potholes). Continued investment for maintenance may require additional voter approved propositions in the coming years.
CM Schubert thanked staff and City teams for their dedication to these voter-approved projects, noting that delivering promised results transparently, on time, and with public oversight is essential to maintaining community trust and allowing voters to tangibly see the results of their votes.
To stay up to date on these projects, check out the Tucson Delivers website. There are also resident led commissions that review proposition based projects, provide feedback to City staff, and hear comments from constituents. The City Manager also shared that the city will issue a Tucson Asset Report Card in the coming year to track city owned infrastructure and facilities, which will help inform residents and guide funding decisions in the future.
City Manager Contract Amendment
At the October 6 Mayor and Council meeting, Council considered a proposal to increase City Manager Tim Thomure’s annual salary to $375,000—an increase of approximately $55,000, or 17%.
Overseeing nearly 5,000 employees and a $2.4 billion municipal budget is an enormous responsibility, and competitive compensation is important for attracting and retaining qualified leadership. A review of comparable Southwestern cities suggests that $375,000 falls within the market range for the position.
However, Council Member Schubert raised concerns about the timing and size of the proposed increase given Tucson’s current financial challenges. The City recently navigated a difficult budget process involving hiring delays, reduced programs, increased fees, and constrained departmental spending. Tucson households also have significantly lower incomes than those in many comparable communities and, for now, our cost of living still remains lower.
Council Member Schubert emphasized that executive compensation decisions should be supported by transparent market comparisons, clear performance expectations, and measurable outcomes that benefit Tucson residents, including progress toward reducing poverty.
She expressed support for a more modest increase now, with a transparent compensation review and clear performance goals guiding future adjustments.
The Ward 6 office believes that fair compensation and fiscal responsibility must go hand in hand. The same financial discipline being asked of City employees and Tucson residents should also be reflected in decisions about executive compensation.
Additional items
-
Prosperity Initiative Action Plan Adoption: During Study Session, Mayor & Council adopted the City’s Prosperity Initiative Action Plan, which will guide the implementation of policies into City-level actions, strengthen coordination across departments, and establish a framework to measure progress. This plan was updated through intentional collaboration with departments, who offered input about their biggest needs and opportunities to address the plan’s goals with existing capacity. The update also included an overview of the new Prosperity Initiative Dashboard, which tracks key metrics using best-available data and was co-created with Pima County.
-
HUD Annual Action Plan: During the regular meeting, Mayor & Council approved an adjustment to our FY27 HUD Annual Action Plan. The adjustment allows $1.5m of CDBG funds from the Community Facilities to the Decent Affordable Rental and Homeowner Housing activity area. This change will allow the City to take advantage of emerging opportunities related to preservation and rehabilitation, including at Craycroft Towers. Staff also confirmed that the remaining funds in our Community Facilities category will be sufficient to carry out plans in that area.
-
Downtown Developments: The two downtown development agreements - Tucson Inn and The Moxy – were passed unanimously. As a reminder, the Moxy site has been earmarked for a hotel since 2004, and the City has a settlement agreement binding us to that original intention. Materials considered for this agreement also included a draft Community Benefits Agreement between the developer and the MLK Residents’ Council, with the expectation that the developers comply with it in substantial form as the project begins. The Tucson Inn project, which is happening on a Pima County-owned site that was earmarked for economic development, is expected to generate $5.9m in direct revenue for the City (along with $10m for other taxing districts) against an estimated incentive value of $2m.

Policies and Projects of Note
Subs and Buses Recap
Anyone should be able to wait at any bus stop in Tucson at any time and feel safe, reliable transportation is available to all, and launching our transit ambassadors program is a cost-effective way to improve our local transit services. Last Friday, Ward 6 Council Member Miranda Schubert hosted a “Subs and Buses” community debrief session after a Tucson delegation of staff and elected officials visited Albuquerque, NM, to observe and study their bus ambassador program earlier in September.
Council Member Miranda Schubert initiated the trip to exchange information on the successes and challenges of implementing a Bus Ambassador program in a similar-sized city in the Southwest. Tucson allocated $375,000 to launch the transit ambassador program earlier this summer.
“Public transit is a priority for me as a Tucsonan, and improving our transit services for everyone is a priority for my office,” said Schubert. “I’m grateful I was able to learn about the challenges and benefits of Albuquerque's Transit Ambassadors through the exchange and bring that knowledge back to the people I serve. I’m equally happy to bring back the praise our city has received for our public transit system. We were fortunate to have wonderful hosts in Albuquerque and I look forward to continuing our dialogue moving forward.”
Transit ambassador programs deploy outreach teams along major routes to support drivers, offer help to riders and address any behavioral or welfare concerns. Research shows that having ambassadors play a key role in customer service, promoting safety and even providing job opportunities for people.
“I joined the ABQ RIDE Ambassador Program to give back to the system that always gets me where I need to go,” said Althea Atherton, transit rider and ABQ Rides Transit Ambassador.. “I am so lucky to witness the joy that the program brings to the system, whether we are helping them plan a route, giving them contact information for critical social services, or just smiling and saying hi to someone who looks like they could use a friendly face. I am excited to see a similar program develop and thrive in another city and I look forward to learning about SunTran from their new ambassadors when I visit Tucson."
“Visiting Albuquerque on behalf of Tucson and Ward 6 to learn about its bus ambassador program helped me better see the outreach potential of our own ambassador program, as well as think about new ways we can prevent incidents by improving the system so many of us without a private vehicle rely on,” said Elaina Richards, Ward 6 Council Aide, who joined Schubert and others on the exchange.

Fourth Ave Business Updates
If you’re reading on Friday afternoon, Council Member Schubert is scheduled to be on Fourth Ave, walking and meeting with business owners one-on-one. We know there is significant frustration among Fourth Avenue businesses about parking, maintenance, safety, and the overall economic health and vibrancy of the district. Fourth Avenue is an iconic, historic, commercial, and cultural destination that holds a special place in Tucson. Its long-term success—and the day-to-day experiences of the business owners, employees, residents, and visitors who make the district what it is—matter deeply to Ward 6 and to generations of Tucsonans.
Our office has been following these concerns closely, and we compiled information about what has happened—and where we believe attention needs to be focused next to achieve the outcomes many Fourth Avenue business owners have identified – into a letter that will be shared with business owners. The letter includes a rundown of recent parking changes, meter challenges, and concurrent issues related to cleanliness, security, and economic conditions, as well as information about the proposed El Corazon Business Improvement (BID) project.
Our office believes Fourth Avenue succeeds when businesses, property owners, the Merchants Association and the City are working from the same facts and toward the same goal.
That means fixing broken parking equipment, making parking rules clear and predictable, addressing legitimate safety concerns, and building a sustainable system for maintaining and supporting the district over the long term.

Unveiling of “Spaces for Solidarity: Honoring Lorraine Lee”
This week, accompanied by the music of the Rondalla Ensemble and Mariachi Aztlán de Pueblo High School, a mural honoring the life and work of Lorraine Lee was unveiled. Lorraine Lee was an activist, a mother, a partner, and a foosball enthusiast. As described in the exhibit, “Born of Chinese/Japanese and Chinese/Mexican descent, with family journeys through the Philippines and Mexico, UA alumna Lorraine Lee made herself known throughout Tucson through her work in social and environmental justice.” She was a champion for affordable housing and the launching of three Chicanos Por La Causa high schools. In the 1990s, she chaired the Pima County Board of Health TCE Subcommittee, focused on addressing the health impacts of trichloroethylene, a toxic chemical dumped by Hughes Aircraft (now Raytheon) for decades, leading to lasting health problems. You can visit the mural at the Lotus Lounge Student Space, Student Union Memorial Center Room 409 on the University of Arizona Campus.
 All smiles for the great Lorraine Lee
 Constituent Corner
Week Without Driving (October 1-8): Recap and Reflections
What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option?
This is the question posed by the Week Without Driving, the annual national challenge presented to folks with reliable access to a car. It asks those people to move through the world like the one third of U.S. residents who can’t or don’t drive – people with disabilities, children, older adults, and people without reliable access to a car.
The Ward 6 Office participated and shared snippets of our week on Instagram. Our posts also highlighted different public infrastructure offered by the City that makes mobility without a car a bit easier – including fare free transit (from Sun Tran to Sun Van to Sun On Demand), and bike boulevards, TuGo bikes, and Lime scooters.
In total from October 1-8, our office biked 197 miles, rode public transit 57 miles, scootered 5 miles, walked 39 miles, and carpooled 223 miles, all for getting from destination A to B (and maybe a C or D as well), for a total of 521 miles of travel without a solo trip!
Notable from these stats is that even when making a conscious effort, trips to Mt. Lemmon (Kylie) or the Pima County Fairgrounds (Miranda) require a car to plan your trip. Mobility without a car often reveals how public transit trips are easier in the middle of a city than on the outskirts and require much less cost of maintenance than something like a bus to Summerhaven. However, in order for public transit to truly feel like a dignified choice for all, we need to consider increasing service to popular destinations and frequency of buses so trip planning doesn’t add 30 minutes or more to a commute time. Long-term solutions to transit require dedicated funding – along with the acknowledgement that every transit trip provides cost-savings to the City and residents by reducing air pollution, saving on fossil fuels, and reducing wear and tear on our roads.
 No, that's not a tear. That's sweat.
Proposed Arizona Inn Housing Development: What Neighbors Should Know
Some neighbors near the historic Arizona Inn recently received a notice from the City of Tucson regarding a proposed housing development on the Inn's property at 2200 E. Elm Street. The proposal includes 25 one- and two-story townhomes on an existing parking lot on the southwest portion of the property, along with three single-family homes on Elm Street. The residences, which could reach 25 feet in height, would be owned, managed, and rented by the Arizona Inn. The project would use Tucson's Community Corridors Tool (CCT), a zoning option adopted by Mayor and Council in March 2025 to encourage housing and redevelopment on underutilized properties while providing community benefits such as improved sidewalks, shade, and public spaces.
The Arizona Inn property was determined to be eligible for the CCT by the City's Zoning Administration in August 2025. That determination was based on existing zoning regulations, the property's status as a legally established nonconforming use, and its location along Elm Street, which is classified as a collector street under Tucson's Major Streets and Routes Plan. Collector streets connect neighborhood streets to larger arterial roads; in this case, Elm Street connects Campbell Avenue and Tucson Boulevard. Importantly, the City's determination established only that the property is eligible to use the CCT, not that the proposed development has been approved.
The October 2 notice is part of the required public notification process before a formal development application is submitted. Following a required pre-application meeting, the applicant must notify nearby property owners and neighborhood representatives between 10 and 60 days before submitting the formal proposal. Once submitted, the City will review the plans for compliance with the CCT and all other applicable development regulations. Neighbors can review project materials through the City's using pre-application number TP-PRE-0126-00022, and submit questions or comments to Planning and Development Services at .
We recognize that not everyone will be enthusiastic about changes to such a beloved historic property and its surrounding neighborhood. Those concerns deserve consideration, particularly when it comes to preserving the Arizona Inn's architectural character and the qualities that make this area special. Encouragingly, the Inn's ownership has explicitly committed to respecting its historic character and ensuring that new housing complements the property. At the same time, Tucson needs housing of every type and price point, including higher-end townhomes. Adding 25 homes on an existing parking lot, a block from a school and two blocks from the University of Arizona and Banner Hospital, is precisely the kind of thoughtful infill development the CCT was intended to encourage. Making better use of land in established neighborhoods, close to jobs, schools, and existing infrastructure, is an important part of building a more sustainable and housing-rich Tucson.
Tenants' Rights Info Session
Everyone deserves housing that is safe, affordable and habitable. Sadly, many people who do not have access, either because housing is too expensive for them to afford a home or because those renting homes have inhabitable conditions including: infestations of pests; lack of adequate water, electricity, heating, and cooling; and other conditions that prevent them from enjoying their homes and damage their health.
To address these issues, the Office of Councilmembers Miranda Schubert and Kevin Dahl are partnering to host a Tenants' Rights to Safe and Clean Housing workshop with the Office of Attorney General Kris Mayes, Southern Arizona Legal Aid, and City of Tucson Code Enforcement to learn about the rights of renters to safe and clean housing.
Groups will be tabling from 5pm-5:30pm and the presentation will begin at 5:30pm. The program will be bilingual in English and Spanish and will be both in person and with a virtual option. The virtual option will begin at 5:30pm when the formal program begins.

Connecting Tucson Neighborhoods to Trails: A Community-Led Effort
Ward 6 constituent Landon Swanson, working with the Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists (SDMB), has proposed a Town-to-Trails initiative to help connect Tucson neighborhoods to recreational trails using existing bicycle infrastructure, neighborhood streets, and shared-use paths. The goal is to make it easier for residents of all ages and abilities to access Tucson's incredible trail network without needing to drive to a trailhead.
As a first step, Landon has generously shared three suggested bicycle routes, including connections to the new 100 Acre Wood Bike Park. The Ward 6 Office appreciates his initiative and encourages community members to explore the routes and share feedback.
Explore Landon's routes:
