Home MenuBroadway Road Streetscape and Bicycle/Pedestrian Project
Completed in March 2016, the Broadway Road Streetscape Project recharacterized the portion of Broadway Road between Mill Avenue and Rural Road. The project added bicycle lanes, wider sidewalks and street trees on the south side of the road, landscaped median islands and a buffer/wall treatment on the north side of Broadway Road. In addition, one eastbound traffic lane was removed.
Laurie Lundquist and Rebecca Ross were the artists for the project. The art was integrated into the wall treatment on the north side of Broadway Road and was funded through the Municipal Arts Fund.
Funding
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program federal funds totaling $3.857 million were secured for the design and construction of the project. As part of the CMAQ requirements, local matching dollars are required. As such, an additional 5.7% match in Tempe transit funds is budgeted for the project.
