As part of Phoenix's Downtown Transportation Study and Bicycle Master Plan, both adopted by City Council, the 3rd & 5th Avenues Improvement Project is aimed at increasing safety, improving corridor circulation and livability, extending and expanding bike facilities and introducing innovative bicycle improvements.
Elements of the overall project include:
- Pedestrian and bicycle improvements
- Traffic, bike and pedestrian signal and safety upgrades
- Shade structures and enhanced landscape in select locations
- Drainage modifications
- Pavement resurfacing
- Two-way traffic from Washington Street to Roosevelt Street
Potential outcomes from this project are more efficient circulation, safer roadways, multi-modal connectivity, greater economic development opportunity and area neighborhood preservation.
This effort is seen as a singular piece of the overall program to make Phoenix a healthier, more vibrant community and our streets more livable.
