Grand Avenue
Reopens in Glendale July 10
|
With
ADOT Director Victor Mendez acting as master of ceremonies,
Governor Janet Napolitano, Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs, and
Glendale Council Member David Goulet joined Glendale citizens
in celebrating completion of the latest project to modernize
US Route 60 in the West Valley: a $26-million revamping of
Grand Avenue in Historic Downtown Glendale.
|
|
|
Construction underway in October, 2005
|
Nearly
a mile section of Grand Avenue, one of the oldest
thoroughfares in the Valley, was closed for more than a year
while crews built the roadway below ground to pass beneath a
unique crossing of Glendale and 59th avenues.
The
project was undertaken to eliminate a major traffic bottleneck
and provide a striking new entrance to Glendale’s historic
downtown district with new pedestrian, transit and aesthetic
features enhancing the intersection.
Bob
Winrow, resident engineer on the project for ADOT’s Phoenix
Construction District, says, "Building a new roadway
through the historic downtown district in Glendale has been
challenging. Discoveries of old utilities and sandy soil
conditions pushed back the completion of early construction
items and resulted in rephasing the intersection construction
activities to keep the project on schedule."
Success
is due in large part to effective collaborations. The
project’s location, sandwiched between the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railway and Glendale City Hall, created the
need for close coordination with the railroad and the City of
Glendale. ADOT and the contractor’s staff have worked to
minimize construction impacts to Historic Downtown Glendale,
and a comprehensive partnership between ADOT and the City of
Glendale helped to keep businesses and the public informed
about the project. Environmental study impacts that estimated
a $4-million economic loss and the closure of 18-22 businesses
due to customers avoiding the area have not been realized. In
reality, Glendale reports that no businesses have closed due
to the construction activity, and sales tax revenues were the
same or slightly higher than before the project began.

Project nearing
completion in June, 2006
|
Completion
of the underpass is a milestone in the five-year effort to
eliminate Grand Avenue’s six-way intersections at several
locations in Glendale, Peoria and Phoenix. With completion of
the project, Myrtle Avenue and 57th Drive will serve as the
primary connections between Grand Avenue and Historic Downtown
Glendale.
