This rehabilitation project can be designed and built quickly meeting all the ARRA spending requirements.
Hohokam Middle School Bicycle & Pedestrian Project $575,000 $765,000 This project will construct approximately one mile of new paved shoulders on Tetakusim Road from Camino de Oeste to Sorrel Lane, a new eight-foot wide shared use path, new concrete headers, ADA-accessible sidewalk ramps, signing and pavement marking. 

Project design is 100% complete and approval to advertise is pending.  
Project eliminates unpaved/gravel walking surfaces (which often times act as a barriers, and/or obstructions) for students, residents and pedestrians. 

Also, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists will no longer have to share the same space, resulting in increased risk to all parties.
This existing Transportation Enhancement project has completed the federal design process and is moving forward into the procurement phase for bidding. 

Spending of ARRA funds will be completed per program requirements.
