Grand Avenue,
SR 101L to
McDowell Road
Project Description
In 2006, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) completed
the grand Avenue Major Investment Study Phase II (SR101L to McDowell
Road) which evaluated the need of various roadway improvements along
the Grand Avenue corridor from SR101L to McDowell Road.
The study included:
-
Socioeconomic & Environmental
Conditions
-
Existing, Programmed, and
Planned Facilities
-
Issues and Needs Identification
-
Alternatives Analysis
-
Access Management
-
Community Mitigation (Aesthetic
Improvements)
-
Recommended Improvements
-
Implementation Plan
The recommended improvements and
implementation plan was further broken into the following three
project phases as it relates to
proposed improvements within the City of Peoria limits:
-
Phase 1 - (2006 to 2010) Access
Management & Community Mitigation
-
Phase 2 - (2011 to 2015) Access
Management & Community Mitigation
-
Phase 4 - (2021 to 2025) Access
Management, Community Mitigation and Intersection
Improvements
Phase 3 of the MAG RTP Highway
Program has no money programmed for Grand Avenue Improvements within
the Study Area.
In 2008, the Arizona Department
of Transportation in coordination with the Cities of Phoenix,
Glendale and Peoria and completed a Design Concept Report which
further refined the recommended improvements included in Phase 1.
Recommended improvements for
Phase 1 within the City of Peoria include median and roadway
landscaping, street lighting and wrought iron fencing along the
Railroad side of the corridor from approximately L101 to Cotton
Crossings (83rd Avenue realignment).
