TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Tucson is considering a proposal to rename a shared-used path after former mayor Jonathan Rothschild.
The proposal, which is in a 45-day comment period, suggests renaming the Alamo Wash Greenway after the mayor. This pathway connects the Rillito River Walk to Aviation Parkway.
Rothschild pushed for the project development, supporting a $225 million bond that voters approved. Now 67 years old, Rothschild served as mayor from 2011 to 2019.
There is still $13 million dedicated to completing the project, including signage and way-finding.
The comment period closes Sunday, Oct. 9.
Comments are accepted by mail to Tucson Parks and Recreation Director Lara Hamwey at 900 S. Randolph Way, Tucson, AZ 85716.
