November 4, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events 

grant road widening project roadway design 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.

The Grant Road task force would appreciate an RSVP though, by emailing information@grantroad.info, or by calling (520) 624-4727.

To discuss Swan to Country Club area, the workshop is November 16th, 5:30-8:30pm at the Tucson Association of Realtors office, 2445 N Tucson Blvd.

To discuss Oracle to 1st Ave, the workshop is November 18th, 5:30-8:30pm at the Pima Downtown Campus Amethyst Room, Building CC, room 180 at 1225 N Stone.

To discuss 1st Ave to Country Club, the workshop is November 19th, 5:30-8:30pm at the Tucson Association of Realtors office, 2445 N Tucson Blvd.

As always, you can find more info at the Grant Road project site – www.GrantRoad.info.
