Grand Canalscape - Phase 3
75th Avenue to 47th Avenue
The Phoenix Street Transportation Department is continuing to improve the Grand Canal.
Phase 3 of the Grand Canalscape project transformed the dirt path between 75th and 47th avenues into an improved concrete pathway, introducing a new route for commuting and recreating, with safe crossings where the trail crosses city streets.
Salt River Project (SRP) operates the canal system and is collaborating with the city's Street Transportation Department on this project.
The Grand Canal area between 75th and 47th avenues accommodates pedestrian and bicycle use. The improved Canalscape project is a welcome recreation or commuting alternative to navigating nearby roadways. Improvements were made along the north bank of the canal. SRP uses the south bank for operations and maintenance.
The project incorporates public art, landscaping and neighborhood access points to the path.
Grand Canalscape Phase 3 links neighborhoods with multiple schools, transit routes, churches, employers and entertainment venues such as American Family Fields of Phoenix (formerly Maryvale Baseball Park).
Did You Know?
Phoenix has more miles of canal than Venice and Amsterdam combined. It's true! Now, Phoenix is transforming the canals from essential water delivery passageways to vital recreation trails.
Project Details
Improvements include:
- Concrete pedestrian and bike pathway along the north bank
- Signalized crosswalks where the path crosses existing streets
- Lighting
- Landscaping where possible
Other amenities include seating areas, trash receptacles, pet waste stations, fitness stations and other infrastructure.
Phase 3 of the Grand Canalscape project is similar to the Phase 1 and 2 projects that were completed in early 2020.
