ASU East — Backus Mall
This project began as a pedestrian study of a portion of ASU East campus, originally the site of the Williams Air Force Base. It explored a number of ways through which a section of the study area, selected through the process of the study, could be improved to accommodate the projected growth of the campus, its pedestrian demands and MAG Pedestrian Area Policies and Requirements. Goodyear Pedestrian Bridge
This Pedestrian Assessment discusses the existing conditions and recommendations for improvements to the pedestrian environment located between the YMCA at Thomas Road and Litchfield Road and the St. Thomas Aquinas Community Church, in the Cities of Goodyear and Avondale, Arizona, including a bridge over the Flood Control District overflow channel, developed by SunCor and dedicated to the City of Goodyear. Additionally, features up to a ¼-mile radius from the Corridor are also assessed for possible influences. The Introduction describes the study purpose, defines the study limits, and describes the process used to identify the type of pedestrian corridor desired. Rio Salado Pathway — Tempe to Phoenix
Over the last few decades, as the region urbanized, the Rio Salado area was identified as an opportunity for renewal, recreation, habitat restoration and open space. The cities of Tempe and Phoenix commited to several large-scale projects that bring new life and new vision to the Rio Salado. The Rio Salado Pathway (Phoenix to Tempe) is an extension of this effort. The Pathway is an accessible, shared use path proposed along the south bank of the Rio Salado beginning at approximately 28th Street in Phoenix and ending at Priest Drive in Tempe. It accommodates users of all ages and abilities, follows all federal and local safety regulations and fills a critical gap in the existing regional path plan which connects major destinations along rivers, washes and canals. Most notably, two major metropolitan populations in the region, downtown Phoenix and downtown Tempe, become connected through this multi-modal pathway system. The Roosevelt Row Pedestrian Enhancement Project
This project addresses the goal of revitalizing downtown Phoenix by establishing a distinct Art District, which will function as a safe and enjoyable pedestrian environment and a unique gateway to the downtown. Located between 2nd Avenue and 7th Street along Roosevelt Street in Central Phoenix, Roosevelt Row is becoming known as a location for special events including the popular 1st Friday event, which attracts significant numbers of participants each month. The Roosevelt Row Pedestrian Enhancement Project was undertaken for the City of Phoenix. Project funding was provided to the City of Phoenix by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). The Surprise North Original Townsite Project
An area south of Bell Road, between El Mirage Road and Nash Street (linking with Crossroads Boulevard, and R.H. Johnson Boulevard, and Sun City, north of Bell Road). The Surprise North Original Townsite Project area is about one-half mile long (east-west), and about one-quarter mile wide (north-south). The adjacent areas south an east of the project area includes existing residential properties. The adjacent area north and west of the project area includes retail commercial uses. The project area includes existing public and private roads with limited right-of-way space. Most of the existing roads do not have sidewalks. Existing land uses within the project area include the City of Surprise Civic Complex, three hotels, Rio Salado Community College, Bicentennial Park, Restaurants, Retail/Offices along Bell Road, and Retail Shops west of Nash Street and Crossroads Boulevard. 32nd Street Pedestrian Trail
The 32nd Street Pedestrian Study began as a way to improve existing pedestrian linkages to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Platform that was proposed for Washington Street at 32nd Street. The study area encompassed Roosevelt Street to Washington Street and 29th Street to 34th Street. Many pedestrian improvement alternatives were investigated. Some of these included 32nd Street, the abandoned Salt River Valley Canal, 29th Street, 30th Street, 32nd Place and Van Buren Street. After observation of the neighborhood pedestrian circulation, these routes were deemed as the most used. Central Laveen Commercial District Pedestrian Mall
The focus of this project was to provide a Design Concept Report for the Central Laveen Commercial District Pedestrian Mall Demonstration Project. This project was developed through the cooperation of the Public and the stakeholders involved, which included representatives from City of Phoenix City Council, City of Phoenix Planning Department, City of Phoenix Streets and Transportation Department, Laveen Village Planning Committee, Maricopa Association of Governments, US Bureau of Reclamation, and LEADS (land-owner representative and developer). The pedestrian mall will be constructed in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of 59th Avenue and Dobbins Road. Pedestrian crossing facilities (e.g. crosswalk) will be constructed at the intersection of 59th Avenue and Dobbins Road to connect the Laveen Commercial Core and the Town Center. Old Roma Alley — Glendale
Old Roma Alley is a 20’ wide, 410’ long, north/south, paved, service road connecting Glendale Avenue to Glenn Drive. It provides an alley to the back of businesses facing 58th Avenue and Glendale Avenue. In the late 1980s an east/west pedestrian breezeway connection from 58th Avenue to the mid-section of Old Roma Alley was developed. At a later date the south end of the alley was closed to traffic and roughly ‘pedestrianized’ with brick pavers laid over the existing asphalt. The curb cut providing vehicular traffic on Glendale Avenue still remains.  Get e-mail updates when this information changes / Learn more... |
