Heartland road projects for 8/25
Tucson took some noticeable steps on Monday in implementing the final phase of its decades-long attempt to connect the east side with Interstate 10 near downtown.
Crews started demolishing three state-owned warehouses on Stone Avenue and Sixth Street to make way for the third phase of the citys Downtown Links project. Itwill ultimately connect Barraza-Aviation Parkway with I-10.
The $84.6 million project was divided into three phases, with the last involving work on Sixth Street from Church Avenue to Broadway.
You can view the map of the projecthere.
This is going to be the most difficult phase, said Tom Fisher, Tucson Department of Transportation project manager.
Plans include constructing a new underpass, a deck plaza, buffered bike paths, elevated pedestrian walkways and a new four-lane road.
Downtown Links has its origins in the Arizona Department of Transportations 1981 Aviation Parkway plan to create a six-mile link between Interstate 10 near downtown and South Palo Verde Boulevard.
Almost from the start, the project garnered stiff opposition from neighborhood activists and businesses who feared the proposed route would destroy too many homes and buildings in historic parts of town.
It took 12 years to get the first one-mile length of roadway built, and another three years to finish the whole five-mile leg to the eastern edge of Downtown, which is where the parkway has stood at a dead stop since 1996.
Even though it only spanned one-mile, the proposed downtown route underwent over 20 redesigns before a final route was settled on in 2008.

Kevin M. Smith, an architect with Robert A.M. Stern Architects, testified Thursday at the second conditional use hearing for a Villanova University plan.
The university wants to build dormitories to house 1,135 students, a performing arts center, a parking garage and retail space on the south side of Lancaster Avenue on what is now a 13 acre parking lot. Smith described the Gothic-style buildings with exteriors of schist stone, which is similar to the stone facades of other buildings on the universitys campus.
Its meant to reflect the character of the buildings across the street, said Smith, who has designed edifices for Harvard, Drexel and Penn State, among many other universities. The 3 story dormitories will have pitched roofs, gables and casement windows. He envisions six residence halls in two groups of three. Students will stroll exterior walkways and gather in courtyards between the buildings, set off by archways.
The focus is on the pedestrian experience, said Smith.
The stone will also cover portions of the exterior a new pedestrian bridge to be built at Church Walk and extended to the R 100 Septa train station at the rear of the parking lot. However, Smith explained that plans call for the stone on the bridge to be broken up with other design elements, rather than a monolithic stone clad siding.
Its actually quite attractive, said Smith. More attractive than solid stone.
Resident Tish Long asked about the SEPTA bridge and Smith told her that Villanova plans to work with SEPTA to improve that bridge, also.
Residents Annamarie Hessman and Toni Bailey were concerned that the disabled people who attend Mass at St. Thomas of Villanova Church on campus would have further to go to reach the chapel. Smith said that handicapped parking areas will be designated at the rear of the parking lot next to a ramp for the pedestrian bridge. Also, there are some parking for the handicapped on campus next to the church, he said.
William Bolla, a lawyer representing Radnor Township in the matter, asked whether an elevator had been considered at the steps to the bridge nearer to Lancaster Avenue.
A variety of things were considered, said Smith. Continued...

Architect testifies at Villanova University conditional use hearing
Does it a take an actor with a fossil fuel surname to save the planet?
Hollywood action star Vin Diesel - a human with hickory hard muscles - is channeling his inner tree. OK, so maybe he's just channeling his latest role, the character of "Groot" in the hit Marvel Comics movie "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Groot is a large, extraterrestrial tree being of immense strength but with limited vocabulary. According to Marvel comics lore, the Flora Colossi have a language that is almost impossible to understand due to the stiffness of their larynxes, causing their speech to sound like they are simply repeating the phrase "I am Groot." Indeed, with one exception, this is Diesel's only line in the "Guardians" film.
Like many celebrities and ordinary mortals, Diesel took the now ubiquitous "Ice Bucket Challenge" but used the attention to redirect to another worthy cause.
On YouTube, Diesel called out Guardians director James Gunn to "plant a tree for Groot." Diesel later posted a photo of himself planting a tree. Gunn accepted the challenge. And so have some of Diesel's Facebook and Twitter followers.
Diesel doesn't provide any horticultural guidance or rationale. But there's at least one reason to plant a tree in the city.
Much like Groot in "Guardians," urban trees may save human lives just not with as much fanfare.
A study of 10 US cities found that urban trees acted as filters, removing fine particulate pollution from the air.
More than 80 percent of Americans live in urban areas containing over 100 million acres of trees and forests, said Michael T. Rains, Director of the US National Forest Services Northern Research Station and Acting Director of the Forest Products Lab. This research clearly illustrates that Americas urban forests are critical capital investments helping produce clear air and water; reduce energy costs; and, making cities more livable. Simply put, our urban forests improve peoples lives.
The study, Modeled PM2.5 Removal by Trees in Ten U.S. Cities and Associated Health Effects, was published last June by the journal Environmental Pollution.

PLYMOUTH A senior center in Grafton County that serves an average of 142 people per day has just been given $170,000 in emergency block grant funding to fix its malfunctioning sprinkler system.
The Plymouth Regional Senior Center's leaking fire suppression system required five emergency repairs in April and May of this year, administrators of its overseeing agency, the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council, said in their application to the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority.
Kevin Flynn, CDFA's communications director, said the grant was approved late last week.
The situation is critical, administrators said, because of the intensity of use the restored former Boston & Maine train station now gets as a full-service senior center. It includes activities rooms, a library, exercise rooms, a computer lab and a large dining room that regularly serves more than 75 diners.About three-quarters of the seniors who use the site regularly are determined to be of low and moderate income according to administrators. We're pleased and relieved to get this grant, Roberta Berner, Executive Director of the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council, said Friday in a news release.
It's important to protect the safety of our participants, staff and volunteers. We'd like to thank CDFA for quickly responding to the emergency.Leaks were found this spring throughout the building where condensation had built up in the pipes and one leak was particularly severe. During an inspection, it became clear that leaks were occurring throughout the system and that portions of the system were in need of substantial repair or replacement, council administrators said.

Storage Sheds Outlet Now Offers Durable and Effective Greenhouses
Little official information has been released concerning exactly what happened to 20-year-old Brandon Ellingson.
Watch this story
Ellingson went overboard while handcuffed under the care of Missouri State Highway Patrol, but a photo taken by a friend of Ellingson sheds new light on what happened moments before he went overboard.
The photo shows Ellingson sitting in a Missouri State Patrol Boat May 31 just as he was being taken into custody.
It is clear in the photo that there is a life jacket on the left side of the boat just in front of the 20-year-old, which is a Type 1 life jacket.
He took Brandon into custody. He handcuffed Brandon first and then he put a Type 3 life preserver on over the top of Brandon, said Matthew Boles, attorney for the Ellingson family.
Boles said the officer should have used a Type 1 life preserver, which would have gone around Ellingsons neck and tied around his body.
Boles said the officer had two of them on the boat and chose not to use those.
A Type 3 life preserver is like a vest, and needs the user to have both hands free to put it on, but Ellingson was handcuffed.
Boles would not speculate on charges, but he did say who is to blame for Ellingsons death.
