This project consists of improvements to Lindsay Road, from approximately 600 feet north of Ocotillo Road to Hunt Highway, with four through lanes (two through lanes in the northbound and southbound directions), as a minor arterial standard with 55' on each side, per the 2010 Transportation Comprehensive Master Plan and subsequent 2019 Transportation Master Plan Update. This project will complete the gaps of missing arterial roadway improvements between developed communities. Improvements include new pavement, raised landscaped medians, bike lanes, center turn lane, curb, gutter, sidewalk, Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades, street lighting, drainage infrastructure, communication and traffic signal infrastructure, utility relocations, landscaping and fence restoration, and traffic signal upgrades and dual left turn lanes at intersection of Lindsay Road and Riggs Road. The project includes drainage improvements such as retention basins and concrete scuppers to accommodate future drainage needs in the project area. In addition, there will be improvements to traffic signals and the traffic signal interconnect, as well as new LED street lighting and conversion of overhead electrical SRP 12kV Overhead Power to underground. The project is receiving federal funds for design, and a combination of federal and local funding for land acquisition and construction; therefore, environmental, right-of-way and utility clearances are being coordinated with ADOT/FHWA. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in Fall 2023 and expected to take 16 months to complete. The attached exhibit shows the recommended alignment and the estimated needed property rights for the improvements. Roadway centerline with the monument line for the entire length of the project. Alignment approval is requested to establish the property right needs for affected parcels. A virtual public meeting was held on December 7, 2021, to present the project. The public meeting materials including the powerpoint presentation and roll plot exhibit, were posted ahead of time on the project website at: https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/transportation/streets/road-construction/lindsay-road. Over 50 people registered for the event, and more than 30 participants attended. The design consultant and city staff presented project information, responded to questions from the chat, and received additional input from residents. |
