77th Street Access Improvements
Project Phase
Project Summary
Vista Del Camino II is a residential community that has long been home to Yaqui families in south Scottsdale adjacent to the Indian Bend Wash. This community faces an ongoing challenge: limited access, especially during storm events. With only one access point from Roosevelt Street to the north, residents are often cut off from their homes during the rainy season due to flooding at the Indian Bend Wash.

Through a federal Economic Development Initiative grant and local funding, a new city project will provide much-needed secondary access to the community, helping to ensure safer, more reliable access for the residents. This will be achieved by building a new mixed-use pathway which will also function as a vehicular access route during flood events, providing an emergency access route to the community.
