Summary

Logan Simpson completed a Class III cultural resources survey for the Meridian Road Improvements Project located in the Town of Queen Creek along the boundary between Pinal and Maricopa Counties, Arizona. The Town of Queen Creek is planning to construct the half-street improvements (west side) along two noncontiguous segments of Meridian Road. The North Segment is a 1.0-mile road alignment between Queen Creek Road and Germann Road. As part of the North Segment construction, Queen Creek Road will be widened for 0.25 miles east and west of the intersection with Meridian Road. The South Segment is a 0.87-mile road alignment between Riggs/Combs Road and north of Queen Creek Wash. In the South Segment, the Queen Creek Wash crossing (15-barrel cast in place box culverts) and a 30-foot temporary asphalt road from Riggs/Combs Road to north of Queen Creek Wash will be installed as a traffic reliever prior to the construction of the ½ street improvements. Approximately 2,000 feet of a 12-inch Town-owned water line will also be installed with the traffic reliever activities. Features associated with the ultimate improvements for both segments include new pavement, pavement marking and signage, traffic signals, street lighting, utility relocations, drainage channels/basins, and landscaping. The intended right of way (ROW) for the improvements along Meridian Road and Queen Creek Road is 140 feet wide (42.6 meters) and includes a series of eight retention basins on the ROW periphery within the southern portion of the project area, making the total area of the current road improvements project 42.5 acres (17 hectares) in total.
