BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
These four projects were developed and approved as part of the FY2023-2027 CIP process in an effort to provide additional capacity at existing intersections, for traffic optimization. These projects are making minor modifications to existing conditions. In addition, these projects are anticipated to be completed by the end of FY2023 through existing city contracts.
STAFF ANALYSIS
These projects will make modifications to existing conditions at four intersections. The four projects will make the following improvements:
42054 – Estrella Parkway – Illini Street to Bullard Avenue: Project will construct a northbound right turn, which will allow three northbound through lanes on Estrella Parkway from MC 85 to Bullard Avenue. This will eliminate a scalloped street condition.
42055 – Estrella Parkway at Roosevelt Street: This project will construct additional pavement to extend the existing northbound left turn lane and the improvements will add additional vehicle storage capacity. This intersection will also be changed to a dual northbound and dual southbound left turn as part of the Estrella Commons improvements by the developer of Estrella Commons.
42057 – Litchfield Road at McDowell Road: This project will construct additional pavement to extend the existing westbound left turn lane and the improvements will add additional left turn lane storage capacity.
42059 – PebbleCreek Parkway at Virginia Avenue: This project will correct the existing transition to the southbound left turn lane. The existing curb from the southbound through lane to the left turn lane will be modified to provide a smoother transition.
