Council approves ADOT-administered Viola Street multi-use path funded mostly by state grant
Summary
Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with ADOT to design and build a multi-use path on Viola Street (Pinal Ave to Casa Grande Ave) using a $996,751 ADOT grant and a $60,249 city match for sidewalks, ADA ramps and crossings.
The City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to administer and deliver a multi-use path project on Viola Street between Pinal Avenue and Casa Grande Avenue.
City staff said the project received $996,751 from ADOT’s Transportation Alternatives Program with a required city match of $60,249. The work will include a shared-use path, widened sidewalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, improved pedestrian crossings and associated roadway improvements to better connect neighborhoods to Frank Pratt Park and the city’s pedestrian network.
Council asked detailed questions about cost estimates, including a staff estimate of roughly $25,000 per ADA ramp and design fees that together explain higher-than-expected project line items. Staff and council noted construction would likely be two to three years away and that ADOT will administer design and bidding. The council adopted Ordinance 3517 to authorize the IGA and expenditure by roll-call vote.
