Phoenix has grown through the years and different parts of the city have different characteristics. Numerous neighborhoods lack sidewalks, paths, upgraded ramps for people with disabilities and other amenities that make moving around the city safer and easier.
When working on street improvement projects, the city is required to update any existing curb ramps to the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. This page will help you learn about mobility area and sidewalk projects that are planned, under construction or recently completed.
Mobility and safety is at the heart of what we do with all of our street transportation projects. This page is not inclusive of all projects intended to address mobility issues.
The project will design sidewalk, driveway entrances, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, and streetlights along the Atlanta Avenue. The improvements are planned for the north and south sides of Atlanta Avenue between 18th Place and 19th Place.
The goal of the project is to provide a safe, ADA compliant pedestrian route that provides connectivity to various neighborhood destinations. Features include:

Design five-foot attached sidewalks on both sides of 5th Street between Cheery Lynn Road and Flower Street. Where five-foot sidewalks are not possible due to limited right-of-way or obstructions, four-foot sidewalks are acceptable. Install two ADA curb ramps at 5th Street & Flower Street, two ADA curb ramps at the corners of 5th Street and Cheery Lynn Road. Reconstruct two alley entrances, one commercial driveway, and one residential driveway; relocate one street signpost.
Pavement treatment will also be completed to restore a smooth driving surface when completed.
