Central Laveen Commercial District Mall Demonstration Project

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Pedestrian Design Assistance Program provided funding to the city of Phoenix to initiate design of the Central Laveen Commercial District Pedestrian Mall Demonstration Project. The focus of this project is to provide a Design Concept Report (10.9 MB, PDF¹) for the Central Laveen Commercial District Pedestrian Mall Demonstration Project. This project is developed through the cooperation of the public and the stakeholders involved, which included representatives from the Phoenix City Council, the city of Phoenix Planning and Street Transportation departments, Laveen Village Planning Committee, Maricopa Association of Governments, US Bureau of Reclamation, and LEADS (land-owner representative and developer).

The pedestrian mall will be constructed in the southeast corner of the intersection of 59th Avenue and Dobbins Road. Pedestrian crossing facilities (e.g. crosswalk) will be constructed at the intersection of 59th Avenue and Dobbins Road to connect the Laveen Commercial Core and the Town Center. The pedestrian mall will cross through the future Town Center in a southeast-northwest direction. A future community park will be constructed at the southeast end of the mall. The future Commercial Core will be located on the west side of 59th Avenue. The pedestrian mall will be a crowning feature of the future Laveen Town Center and include a mix of urban, residential, and commercial uses in a concentrated pedestrian scale environment.
