| Project Update On February 16, the study team hosted a Public Open House and attended the City Council Study Session to present existing and future conditions analysis as well as rail crossing alternatives associated with the City of Casa Grande Downtown Traffic Circulation Study. Over the past several months, the study team has been working with city staff and key stakeholders to define the Recommended Transportation Plan to support future redevelopment in the Downtown area. This eNewsletter details some of the key recommendations and invites you to participate in an upcoming public open house to learn more about the Plan. Read on! |

| Key Recommendations Through the evaluation process, the construction of a new Pinal Avenue grade-separated rail crossing alternative was identified as providing the greatest linkage to potential redevelopment of Downtown. Therefore, this particular option was recommended as the focus of additional study.
A major component of this alternative is the realignment of 2nd Street to eliminate the existing 'five-points' intersection. Other optional modifications to the Downtown street network include extension of Main Street to connect to Pinal Avenue, conversion of 2nd Street and Main Street to one-way operation, and modification of 2nd Street and Main Street to accommodate on-street parking, bicycles and pedestrians. Evaluation of these options has led to the identification of a Recommended Transportation Plan to support future redevelopment in Downtown Casa Grande.
On September 20, the City will host a public open house to present the components of this Plan, including improvements associated with the new grade-separated rail crossing at Pinal Avenue. | |||||
