This $6,000,000 revitalization program, authorized in 2003, involves sidewalk
reconstruction and landscape installation throughout the entirety of Scottsdale's portion
of the McDowell Road Corridor. The program is somewhat unique in that a partnership has
been formed between private landowners and businesses along McDowell Road and the City to
share costs associated with the construction of the project.
Designated as three different design thematic zones (oasis,
resort, xeric-scape), the program
involves the City's right-of-way and an adjacent portion of privately owned land as the
pallet for a sidewalk and landscape design. The City through this collaborative process
seeks to establish a new sense of place and destination for the McDowell Road Corridor
business and residential community.
