Completed in 2015, the University Drive Streetscape project enhances the streetscape and calms traffic on University Drive between Ash Avenue and Priest Drive. The project includes bicycle and pedestrian enhancements, public art, additional crosswalk opportunities, ADA improvements and landscaping. The project is intended to promote neighborhood stability, sustainable business and development efforts while continuing Tempe's commitment to alternative modes of transportation. 

Funding

This project was funded with $2.2 million in federal Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality grant money. Tempe also contributed (through the transit fund) a 5.7% match of the total grant money received. Council approved the design concept on May 9, 2013. Following an extensive public involvement process, the final designs for the project were completed in Fall 2013.
