Oro Valley council authorizes $400,000 for Shannon Road dust control and multi‑use path
Summary
The council approved using $400,000 from the La Cañada mill‑and‑overlay project to install a cape seal surface and a separated multi‑use path along Shannon Road between Naranja and Tangerine, citing dust mitigation and emergency‑access improvements; vote was 6 in favor and 1 abstention.
The Oro Valley Town Council voted on March 19 to authorize staff to use $400,000 from the La Cañada (Locunyatta) Mill and Overlay Project contingency to design and construct improvements on Shannon Road to mitigate dust and improve emergency access.
Public Works staff described the work as a project‑of‑opportunity created by recent water‑line construction that left a continuous route between Tangerine and Naranja. The proposed work includes compacting the existing roadway, applying a cape‑seal/chip‑seal surface with a fog/slurry seal and installing a separated multi‑use path (MUP) separated from vehicular traffic. Staff said the project would provide a dust‑free two‑lane surface for local vehicles and a physically separated path for pedestrians and bicyclists.
