Grand Canalscape planning began well before two important grants were awarded in 2015. Grant applications were filed and the city received funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation and from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. Together with aesthetics funding from Salt River Project (SRP), the two grants helped Phoenix complete an incredible new recreational amenity that stretches from the Tempe border almost to Interstate 17.
