A proposed alignment for a widened Grant Road from Oracle to Swan roads will be unveiled for the public next month, Tucson Department of Transportation officials told a City Council subcommittee Thursday.
"I think we have something that I think everyone is going to be pleased with," Andrew Singelakis, deputy director of the department, told the City Council Subcommittee on Transportation.
The preferred alignment will be presented at an Oct. 15 public meeting, Singelakis said.
It was not displayed at Thursday's subcommittee meeting.
Widening of Grant to three lanes in each direction with new intersections, landscaped medians, and additional bus pullouts will not start until 2013.
But the city will need to begin to acquire private property starting in 2009 for the widening.
The preferred alignment to be shown next month will provide a good indication to potentially affected property owners whether their parcels are likely to be targeted by the city for acquisition.
Singelakis said some minor adjustments to the preferred alignment may still take place before its October unveiling.
While road jobs drag on and on and on, so be it...more folks are moving here, Tucson will never have sufficient roads for the traffic at hand...
and the Aviation Parkway to I-10 connection won't be happening in the lifetime of ANYONE that reads this!
