5 issues in roads with high priority
County Line Road contractor delay
The ODOT contractor on the County Line Road widening walked off for five months; the city manager is sending letters to legislators and the governor and vowing tighter day counts on future ODOT contracts.
Aspen Avenue Phase 3 widening awarded
Cherokee Pride Construction wins the $4.78 million contract to widen Aspen Avenue from Jasper to Tucson — about $2 million under estimate — finishing the 2018 bond project after both intersections wrap up.
20th Street & Hillside Drive intersection fix
Traffic backs up to Kenosha at peak times near Adams Creek Town Center. Staff rejected a roundabout as too costly and picked a signal with added lanes, cutting backup from 500 feet to about 120 feet. Funded by the 2026 bond, with design starting now.
North Elder Place traffic and overnight semi-truck parking
Residents near the proposed Bricktown townhomes say North Elder Place is already congested, with semi-trucks parking overnight and construction traffic from the Structure Creek project. They want a traffic survey, no-parking signage, and code enforcement before 29 more households are added.
9th & Washington intersection bottleneck
Expect up to eight intermittent full closures at 9th (Lynn Lane) and Washington for intersection widening — one leg at a time, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with advance notice on signs and social media.
