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.
The Broadway Road Action
Team comprises of approximately 12 stakeholders who live or own property
in the project area.
The Action Team will meet monthly for as long as needed to develop a draft plan.
Action Teams members represent a geographically equitable
distribution of stakeholders with a diversity of opinions related to the
problem and include a representative of the neighborhood association(s).
Action Team Consensus/Recommendation:
1) Request a study of Broadway Road from I-10 to Loop
101 regarding 2/2 lane configuration impacts.
2) Forward the
preferred design
concept to the community at large for input.
