Final Design Concept Report: 51st Avenue Grade Separation Structure at the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel

Summary

The proposed project is located in west Phoenix and east Glendale in the vicinity of the 51st Avenue and Cactus  Road  intersection.  The  Arizona  Canal  and  ACDC  bisect  the  area  in  a  southeast  to  northwest direction  starting  south  of Cactus  Road and east  of 51st  Avenue,  and departs  north  of Cactus  Road and west  of 51st  Avenue.  There  are  paved  and/or gravel-dirt  paths  on  each  side  of the  Arizona Canal  and ACDC.  The  area  between the  Arizona Canal  and  ACDC  is  the  path  designated  as  the  multi-use  path, therefore the corridor for which a grade separation is to be provided.  The path experiences heavy usage. The  path  users  currently  cross  51st  Avenue  and  Cactus  Road  by  means  of a  signalized  intersection  or jaywalk  at  locations  along  51st  Avenue  and  Cactus  Road  that  are  not  signed  for  pedestrian  /  bicycle crossings.  The  pedestrian  /  bicycle  crossings  at  the  signalized  intersection  add  time  to  the  respective movements  green  light cycle time,  which  causes additional  delay for motor vehicles.  As a result motor vehicles create additional air pollution during the extended idle time
