TUCSON, AZ December 6, 2022 – The Sun Link streetcar is providing convenient access and free rides to the 4th Avenue Winter Street Fair. Riders onboard the streetcar with other travel plans should be aware of service impacts due to road closures while the event takes place. Two streetcar stops will not be in service beginning Thursday, December 8 at approximately noon. Normal service will resume Monday, December 12 at 7 a.m.
Closed Streetcar Stops:
- 4th Avenue/4th Street
- 4th Avenue/6th Street
Streetcar riders have two options to bypass these closures. The public can choose to enjoy a leisurely 15-minute walk with the opportunity to shop along the half-mile street fair. Open streetcar stops are located at the fair’s north and south entrances. Instead of walking, riders can choose to ride a special event Sun Tran bus with service around the road closure.
Passengers can board the special event bus at:
- University Boulevard/3rd Avenue
- 5th Avenue/6th Street
- 4th Avenue/9th Street
Please note the bus boarding locations are a few hundred feet from the streetcar platforms. Signs will mark the bus boarding area.
Passengers choosing to ride the special event bus can re-board the Sun Link streetcar at the University Boulevard/3rd Avenue platform to continue traveling east toward the University of Arizona. To continue traveling west to downtown and the Mercado district, passengers can board the Sun Link streetcar at the 4th Avenue/9th Street platform. The bus stop on 5th Avenue/6th Street is conveniently located near the center of the fair to offer visitors a closer location to catch a ride.
Fair attendees can also take the following Sun Tran routes to the downtown Ronstadt Transit Center and transfer to Sun Link:
- Routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 & 25
Please check Sun Tran route schedules before riding. Some routes may stop service prior to the end of the fair.
