Tanque Verde Road Improvements: Catalina Highway to Houghton Road

The proposed improvements consist of widening the existing roadway from Catalina Highway to Houghton Road in order to reduce congestion, provide for alternative modes of transportation, improve drainage and enhance safety along Tanque Verde Road. The proposed improvements include widening the roadway to four lanes of traffic with raised medians, multi-use lanes, curbs, sidewalks, drainage improvements, storm drains, landscaping and public art.

Over the past year, the Project Team has worked closely with the Citizens Advisory Committee to identify and resolve community issues and concerns related to the project. Additionally, two Public Open Houses were conducted to present various design concepts and to solicit additional input on the proposed design as the basis for preparing the Environmental Assessment and Mitigation Report (EAMR).

After Board of Supervisors approves the EAMR, final construction plans will be completed within 6 to 8 months (late 2009), an 18-month construction period beginning in early 2010. Please return to this Web site often for updates on these improvements.
