Show Notes
With Tucsons Propositions four eighteen and four nineteen vote looming, environmental groups advocate for the RTA Next plan, a twenty-year, two billion six hundred million dollar package. The plan includes a fifty million dollar allocation for wildlife crossings, aiming to expedite essential projects that have been delayed. Kate Hotten from the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection highlights the importance of these crossings in preserving wildlife populations and reducing vehicle collisions. The RTA has funded around forty crossings since two thousand six, with a proposed major bridge in Avra Valley potentially linking three mountain ranges. If approved, committees will determine how to spend the funds, emphasizing the benefits of a thriving landscape for the entire region.
