TITLE

Butler-Fourth Improvements Project - Design Alternatives Discussion

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Discussion only.  The Butler-Fourth Improvements Project Team will present an update on efforts to date, public outreach efforts, discuss design alternatives, and seek Council direction on the design alternatives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Butler-Fourth Improvements Project is a combined project formerly shown as the Butler Avenue Widening and Butler-4th Intersection Reconstruction projects. The project is in the vicinity of Butler Avenue and Fourth Street in Flagstaff, Arizona, and can be generally described as a roadway, stormwater, and utility improvements project. 

The project consists of widening Butler Avenue from Little America to Sinagua Heights Subdivision and widening Fourth Street from Warm Springs Trail/Sparrow Avenue to the upcoming Canyon Del Rio development south of Butler Avenue. 

Several intersections, new and existing, will be impacted along Butler Avenue. The Herold Ranch Road intersection will be re-aligned and converted to a roundabout. The Butler Avenue and Fourth Street intersection will consider a roundabout vs signalized intersection and will be raised to reduce flooding impacts from Spruce Avenue Wash.

The project will include ITS (Fiber Optic Conduit) facilities and enhanced bicycle and pedestrian treatments, including off-street bike lanes and sidewalks within project limits.  

Finally, this project will likely have several utility relocations, possible pipe upsizing, and significant stormwater infrastructure improvements. This project will be delivered through the Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) project delivery process.  Construction is programmed to begin in FY24.
