Mr. Bigalk discussed the IGA items noting that ADOT will provide $8 million for roadway design, right of way acquisition, critical utility relocation and construction administration. He also provided the project schedule dates with construction beginning near the end of 2023.

Mr. Bigalk responded that there is a northern portion of Camelback Road that resides in the City of Glendale and Maricopa County and how it is built out will be worked out as development or design continues. He added that the City intends to design the road per City standards.
