About the Project
In spring 2022, the Phoenix Street Transportation Department removed parking and two traffic lanes on Fillmore Street between Central Avenue and 7th Street, and added buffered and protected bike lanes on both sides of that corridor. Prior to the proposed changes, there were sharrows and a continuous green stripe in the outside driving lanes.
City staff used stakeholder input gathered during various outreach efforts and engineering judgment to select the final design.
Hans Hughes Memorial Bikeway
In April 2023, this corridor was designated as the Hans Hughes Memorial Bikeway. Hughes was a Downtown Phoenix Inc. Ambassador who passed away in September 2021 after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle near 1st and Fillmore streets.
Project Area Connectivity
Other bicycle infrastructure improvements in the downtown core that would enhance this already completed project include:
Community Outreach
A live virtual public meeting was held on December 14, 2021 at 6 p.m. via Webex. A video recording of the meeting is available above and on YouTube.
To gather project feedback, a community survey was available in English and Spanish from December 14, 2021 through January 16, 2022.
