Butler/Fourth corrridor project

This project consists of widening Butler Avenue generally between the I-40 interchange and Sinagua Heights. Project components include a protected roundabouts at Butler Ave/Fourth St and Butler Ave/Heraold Ranch Rd, separated bike lanes and sidewalks along the length of the corridor, continuation of the Fourth St FUTS Trail through the Fourth St roundabout, a ped/bike tunnel at Butler/Fourth, and a pedestrian beacon crossing midway between the roundabouts.

Updates:

• 30 percent plans for the project have been completed
• The City received a federal RAISE grant of $19m for the project
• A designer has been engaged for final design
• The section of Butler Ave within the interchange of I-40 has been added to the project. Plans call for widening this segment of roadway to 6 lanes, and adding sidewalks/separated bike lanes to the outside of the abutments through the interchange
• The schedule shows completion of design by late Fall 2026, and construction beginning in Spring 2027
