Summary

June 12, 2020 (Revised September 18, 2020)

The Grand Canalscape Phase II (TIGER) Shared-use Pathway project is a City of Phoenix (City) pathway improvement project that completes a shared-use path along the Grand Canal from North 23rd Avenue south of West Indian School Road in Phoenix to the City of Tempe border at 56th Street. Pathway improvements were constructed along three discontiguous segments of the Grand Canal:

• Segment 1: Grand Canal alignment between I-17 and 15th Avenue;

• Segment 2: Grand Canal alignment between 16th Street and 36th Street;

• Segment 3: Grand Canal alignment between 40th Street and 56th Street.

The pathway improvements were constructed along the banks of the Grand Canal and within and adjacent to City streets. The project's area of potential effects (APE) crossed the boundaries and/or 250-foot buffers of six archaeological sites as well as the plotted locations and SO-foot buffers of unverified Hohokam canal alignments. As defined by the City, the area within 250 feet of the boundary of an archaeological site or within 50 feet of an unverified Hohokam canal alignment is a "buffer" that must be considered in terms of potential ground disturbing activities.

Cultural resources monitoring at the six sites and the plotted locations of the unverified Hohokam canal alignments was required during project construction in Segments 2 and 3 pursuant to the stipulations of a project-specific Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The cultural resources construction monitoring was conducted by Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) working under the provisions outlined in the City's blanket Monitoring and Discovery Plan for the City of Phoenix (Montero and Stubing 2004) and a project-specific monitoring and discovery plan addendum (Luhnow and Shelton 2017). This report details the results of the cultural resources monitoring.
