This project is in the design phase and the city is finalizing plans for several transportation improvements – new sidewalks, streetlight evaluation and new roadway paving. Another city project to improve the 68th St. storm drain is also planned for this corridor. These projects will be built simultaneously to limit the impact on the neighborhood and to the traveling public.
The project will include asphalt improvement on this segment of 68th Street and restriping on the street surface. The road will be restriped to its current lane configuration on one lane in each direction.
This project was created is in response to a citizen request and was added the city’s capital improvement plan by the City Council.
A community public meeting was held on May 15 at Scottsdale Stadium. View the presentation that was given at the meeting to learn more about the project.
