Report
Summary
A currently unfunded project will widen 27th Avenue from Lower Buckeye Road to Buckeye Road. The project will include five lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic signals, streetlights, improved drainage facilities, and utility improvements. Maricopa County owns property along approximately one quarter of the project frontage. Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) agrees to contribute their proportionate share to the project and reimburse the City 25 percent of the total project cost upon completion of construction.
Financial Impact
MCDOT will reimburse the City 25 percent of the total project cost upon completion of construction, which is contingent on funding through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Currently, there is no timeframe set for including the project in the five year CIP.
