Report
Summary
The purpose of this amendment is for ADOT to extend the terms of the IGA. The original IGA was effective from July 26, 2021, through July 25, 2023. This amendment will extend the terms of the IGA until the substantial completion of the Interstate 10 (I-10) Broadway Curve Improvement Project (Broadway Curve). Street Transportation Department staff will continue to coordinate with City departments on the I-10 Broadway Curve in an amount not to exceed $350,000 per year. City staff will be assigned to the project to coordinate and perform plan reviews, process permits, and provide traffic operations coordination and outreach support during the freeway detours and closures. It is critical to the success of this freeway project for City staff to work closely with ADOT and the development team throughout design and construction.
The I-10 Broadway Curve is planned to improve a segment of I-10 between the I-10/Interstate 17 (I-17) Split Traffic Interchange and the Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway (Loop 202-South Mountain Freeway).
