Westland Drive & Hayden Road Intersection Improvements

UPDATED August 27, 2009
Thank you to everyone who attended the neighborhood meeting on Monday, August 17th at the Desert Hills Presbyterian Church. Over forty residents attended and provided us with great feedback for the entire stretch of Westland from Scottsdale to Pima roads.

We are still compiling your comments regarding the all-way stop at the intersection of Westland and Hayden; and will provide further details once all feedback has been received and documented.

Based on the information residents provided at the meeting regarding the safety on Westland Drive between Scottsdale and Pima roads, Transportation staff has initiated the following:

  • Working with staff from Code Enforcement to ensure landscaping on the side streets along Westland is trimmed and maintained properly for appropriate intersection sight distance
  • Continued maintenance for the vegetation in the center medians along Westland through the city’s Parks and Recreation Department
  • Working with Police to address speeding concerns and additional enforcement has been added to their rotation schedule
  • Installation of additional signs and upgrading some existing signs to high-intensity reflective signs to direct drivers through the jogs between Hayden and Pima roads
  • Raised, reflective pavement markers on both sides of the double yellow through the jog at 84th Street (It is noted that raised pavement markers are already installed through the jog at 82nd alignment)
  • Evaluate sight distances at all intersections
  • Currently, there is an eastbound bike lane on Westland between Scottsdale and Hayden, (on the south side of the street.)  As part of the improvements to Westland, a bike lane westbound (on the north side of the street) will be added when this section of the street is restriped.  
    • In addition, bike lanes will be added in both directions on Westland between 85th Street and Pima Road.
  • Evaluating enhanced pedestrian crossing options at Westland and Hayden intersection

All of the items listed above are scheduled to be completed in early 2010.
