Summary
City manager reported the Miller Road expansion to six lanes by fall, completion of a new pedestrian crossing at Ninth and Monroe (phase 1), and a $12 million state award for a new recovery well in the White Tanks area; staff also promoted an upcoming downtown streetscape meeting.
City Manager Roderick told the council on April 15 that the Miller Road construction project is underway and will expand the corridor to six lanes from I-10 South to Lower Buckeye by this fall.
Roderick reported Public Works completed a phase 1 pedestrian crossing at Ninth and Monroe and said a full HAWK signal or enhanced intersection will be installed as phase 2 next year. He also announced the city received notice of a $12,000,000 state award to develop a new recovery well in the White Tanks area to support water resources.
Roderick highlighted other city development activity: the city clerk’s passport office processed 458 passports in March after an earlier average of 60–70 per month, the city held a pre-application meeting for a proposed four-story all-suite hotel in the Sundance neighborhood at Yuma and Sundance Parkway, and staff urged public participation in a downtown streetscape meeting scheduled for April 23 to discuss Monroe Street improvements. No council action was required on these updates.
