Year 1 - Central City and South Mountain villages

The Phoenix Connected Active Neighborhoods Program (PhxCAN) focused on the Central City and South Mountain villages in Year 1 (late- 2023 to early- 2024). Projects identified through community engagement are being evaluated, and proposals are scheduled to be shared publicly in fall 2024. Follow this page for updates.

Community Engagement

During late 2023 and early 2024, the PhxCAN team and the Community Connectors attended community events, and led walking tours to hear from residents and identify opportunities to improve the local active transportation network. Thank you to the many community members who participated and provided valuable input. ​

In spring 2024, The PhxCAN team and Community Connectors participated in a series of events and activities in the Central City and South Mountain villages to provide updated information to residents. 

Village Surveys

​To gather community input, an initial online survey was available in English and Spanish from December 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024. As the PhxCAN team moved into Phase 2 of developing project needs for the Central City and South Mountain villages​, residents were asked to provide additional input by participating in a second online survey that was available in English and Spanish from March 19 to May 7, 2024.

​Valuable feedback was gathered that will help guide bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements in these villages.


Learn about Phoenix's Urban Villages

The City of Phoenix is divided into 15 urban villages. Each village has a Village Planning Committee (VPC) appointed by City Council. The VPCs assist the Planning Commission in the performance of its duties. VPCs are part of the city's Planning and Development Department.​

Community Connectors

Community members will help guide the assessment of each urban village by functioning as community consultants and will be known as the PhxCAN Design and Outreach Community Connectors. They will provide guidance on the overall process, help design the engagement strategy and actively participate in outreach efforts.

The Connectors for each village are a resource to help residents get involved in the PhxCAN program.​
