Project Overview:
In 2021, the City of Phoenix was awarded a federal grant to engage the community and support local businesses within the Capitol and I-10 West Study Areas. The product of this grant will be two living documents (one for the Capitol Study Area and one for the I-10 West Study Area). These plans will be created with the local community and implemented with the local community. These planning initiatives will act in concert with future business assistance programs deployed by Valley Metro to help local businesses during the construction of the light rail extension.
The I-10 West TOC Study Area is defined broadly by Interstate 17 on the east, 83rd Avenue on the west, Van Buren Avenue on the south, Encanto Boulevard on the north, and extending to Osborn Road between 75th Avenue and 83rd Avenue. The Capitol Extension TOC District has its own website which can be found here: https://www.phoenix.gov/pdd/tod/Capitol
TOC Planning:
The City of Phoenix - in collaboration with project partners, community stakeholders, and the Mayor and Council - will develop a TOC policy plan specific to the Capitol Extension TOC Study Area. This plan will serve to attract, guide, and prioritize strategic investments in infrastructure, housing, economic development, transportation, and other areas to realize a shared community vision for the future of the area. The policy plan will be developed through three phases of planning:
- PHASE 1 – WHO WE ARE (CURRENT STATE ASSESSMENT)
- PHASE 2 – WHAT WE WANT (VISION FOR THE FUTURE)
- PHASE 3 – HOW WE GET THERE (IMPLEMENTATION PLAN)
