SR 51 / Loop 101 Interchange to Cave Creek Road
The City of Phoenix would like to thank the community for their input and interest in the effort to study a transportation connection between the SR 51 / Loop 101 interchange and Cave Creek Road. This study will evaluate engineering and environmental aspects of a proposed transportation corridor connecting SR 51 to Cave Creek Road.
The Regional Transportation Plan Arterial Streets Life Cycle Program includes funding for the portion of Black Mountain Boulevard from SR 51 to Deer Valley Road. The portion of Black Mountain Boulevard from Deer Valley Road to Cave Creek Road is unfunded and is expected to be built by development as it occurs in the future.
Currently, we have met with five homeowner’s associations including Desert Ridge Community Association, Aviano, Wildcat Ridge, Fireside and Tatum Highlands. In addition, we have met with the Desert View Village Planning Committee, local agencies, and a stakeholders group. Finally, we have held two formal public meetings as a part of the federal funding requirements. We have received and continue to receive valuable input to help guide the project team towards developing alternatives to bring back to the public in late March 2012. At the March public workshops, we will summarize the study data collected and present various preliminary alternative alignments for consideration. We will look for additional input based on the alternative alignments to help refine the concepts and ultimately move ahead with one preferred alignment or a no-build option later this fall.
Please visit the project website at www.blackmountainblvd.com to provide your input, review the information from past meetings, and watch for the upcoming March workshop schedule. You may also call the project hotline at (602) 297-5203. Thank you again for your interest in this project.
