It would be hard to point to one thing in Ward 4 that singularly represents the legacy Councilwoman Shirley Scott leaves after 24 years in office.
Even a Top 10 list would hardly be enough for a woman who spent more than two decades on the Tucson City Council transforming the east-side district. While it is easy to see growth in downtown Tucson as new buildings go up, the east side has seen similar growth, but not in the form of skyscrapers.
Scott is retiring from the council and her last official day is Monday, when the new council members and incoming Mayor Regina Romero are sworn into office. Nikki Lee won the November election to replace fellow Democrat Scott in Ward 4.
