Grand Canal Connection Project

Font Size: + -

Tempe’s portion of the Grand Canal Path (located just north of the 202, east of Priest Drive) is separated from other regional off-street pathways in the area including the Rio Salado Path and Crosscut Canal Path. In 2019, preliminary designs were developed and a project assessment report completed the gaps in these regional paths. This project will take the preliminary designs developed in 2019 and produce the final plans, specifications, and estimate so that the project can be bid for construction.
