Grant Road Community Character Workshops

January 19, 2010 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under About Tucson

We’re getting closer to some major widening work on Grant road!

First improvements will be down at Grant and Oracle in 2011 – some two years before construction was originally scheduled to start. Then they’ll do the Stone/1st Ave area in 2013, jump over and do the Swan Road area in 2014, and work their way back thru the Alvernon, Campbell, and Country Club intersections in 2017 and beyond.

There’s a fairly comprehensive Grant Road Widening Project Milestone report here, all in one handy PDF file.

If you want to be heard about the Grant Road widening project, now’s the time.

There are community character and vitality workshops coming up starting January 20th, public art workshops on February 10th and 11th, and a design report due mid March 2010.

RSVP for the workshops by emailing information@grantroad.info. The schedule is as follows:

Jan 20th, 5:30-8:30pm, at College Place, 1601 N Oracle Road to discuss Oracle Road – Stone Ave

Grant Road Improvement Workshops (November 4, 2009)
The Grant Road widening project continues to make plans. Construction isn’t due to start until 2013, but they’ve made a lot of plans and decisions already. There are workshops in two weeks for the public to discuss how businesses and neighborhoods will be accessed from the new Grant Road. If you live anywhere along that corridor, or have interests in those businesses, it might be useful to attend. If you do, you’ll learn about how drivers will enter/exit the roadway using shared driveways and new median openings. You’ll also be able to provide input on the preliminary design, the streetscape, the landscape, and public art.
