Discussion on any and all matters regarding traffic studies and roadway needs for the Gadsden Elementary Schools Access Roads. (Jenny Torres, Community Development Director)

The City of San Luis contracted with Core Engineer to conduct two traffic impact studies and traffic signal needs assessments. The first study analyzes alternative access scenarios for 1st Street and 4th Avenue to be considered for the site of three Gadsden Elementary School District schools: Arizona Desert, San Luis Middle School and Rio Colorado Elementary School.  This study defines permanent access on a parcel of State Trust Land east of the site that has been improperly used as access to the sites. The second traffic study was performed for the intersection of 10th Avenue and Juan Sanchez Boulevard. The site is the primary access to two Gadsden Elementary School District Schools, Harvest Preparatory Academy, charter elementary school and two residential subdivisions. The study was conducted in part by the ongoing consolidation and proposed expansion of Harvest Prep. City staff and school district staff met to discussed the above traffic studies and are working in defining the best solutions for both sites.
