[Source: Beth Litwin, Arizona Republic, June 24, 2008] — Residents of Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria will have the opportunity to offer their input on potential Grand Avenue improvements during a series of three upcoming public meetings.
The community meeting in Phoenix will be 6-8 p.m., July 8 in the Clubhouse at Encanto Park, 2605 N. 15th Ave.
Proposed improvements to be discussed are along Grand Avenue from Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) to McDowell Road and are in addition to the upcoming widening project that is scheduled to start next year. Grand Avenue will be expanded to three lanes in each direction from Loop 303 to 83rd Avenue, by 2011.
A presentation will begin 30 minutes after the start of each meeting where members of the public will learn about the proposed construction projects. Members of the study team and ADOT representatives will also field questions from residents. The improvements are scheduled for construction in Phase I (2006-2010) of the voter-approved Regional Transportation Plan for Maricopa County. For information, contact the Northwest Valley Community Outreach Team at 480-890-3055. [Note: To view and download a PDF of the proposed improvements, click here.]
