Broadway Road Streetscape and Bike/Ped Improvement Project

For many years, neighbors adjacent to the segment of Broadway Road between Mill Avenue and Rural Road approached the city of Tempe with a wide range of ideas for changes to the street that included: reduced number of vehicles, speed limit reductions, adding bicycle lanes, installation of walls, additional landscaping, noise reduction, and improved pedestrian facilities.  As part of the City’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan, a variety of public meetings and neighborhood discussions were held over the last several years with neighbors near Broadway Road. Preliminary design concepts for the roadway were then developed and successfully used to acquire project funding through federal grant programs and the Tempe City Council.  As recommended by the Broadway Road Action Team, the proposed design concept is below for review.
