Map Collaboration

This page is devoted to working together on various mapping projects including mapping and photographing each ghost bike in Tucson and suggesting bike infrastructure projects.

The maps can be edited by anyone with a Google login.

Based on a suggestion from a reader, I have created this map for the Tucson cycling community to collaborate on what parts of Tucson’s cycling infrastructure they would like to see improved.

To edit the map, click on the “View Tucson bicycle infrastructure improvements in a larger map” link. Once the page is open click on the “save to my maps” button. Once you have done that, you can begin adding your own points to the map.

You can easily drag the balloon icon to an intersection or stretch of road and add text or photos to it. Be sure to click save when you are done.

Check out Google’s guide to mapping for more help. If you run into trouble, feel free to email me.

We can discuss the improvements in the comment section of this page.

  1. The “Speed bumps”
    When I (or my pedals) first encountered these little
    pos’s, I thought the road dept. had put them there
    intentionally for some weird reason. But I guess they
    just ‘grow’ wherever concrete meets asphalt. Well,
    they need to be ‘pruned’ every so often….
    Hello City…it’s called “maintenance”.
    They are dangerous. Going around them puts bikes
    into the traffic lane too close to an intersection and
    turning from Speedway can catch your pedal and
    maybe throw you down. Hundreds of bikes hit these
    things daily and you have to yell, “Hey, do this!”

  3. Mountain south of Grant could use a little fixing up. There are lots of little potholes forming in the concrete.

    I am also going to take some pruning sheers out there and clean up trim some of the trees that are growing into the bike lane.

  5. This is not new, but paving the path on the south side of the Rillito between Campbell and Mountain, so that we road bikers can get to the Gateway Bridge without going onto Campbell, which has neither a crosswalk nor a bike path along the bridge.

  7. Heads up: Camino De Mañana is *not* road bike worthy. It’s like they laid tar and gravel over the existing dirt without grading it first. Stick with Twin Peaks.
