Project Goals​​​​​​

​The City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is working through the design phase of a project that will improve safety and infrastructure for residents walking and biking on Colter Street between 15th Avenue and 20th Street. 

The planning and pre-design phase for this project began in 2020 and was completed in 2021. The project has two segments along Colter Street – 15th Avenue to 7th Street and 7th Street to 20th Street. Funding has been identified to complete the design process for both segments as part of one combined project. Colter Street is considered a collector street and there is no plan as part of this project to close any portion of the street off to vehicle traffic. 

Project Area

​Colter Street Segment I from 15th Avenue to 7th Street

Colter Street Segment II from 7th Street to 20th Street​​

Conceptual Renderings​

​​The graphics for this project were developed in the planning/pre-design phase. Listed below are conceptual ideas of what improvements might be possible to make this area safer and more comfortable for all roadway users, especially people walking or riding bicycles. As segments I and II enter the design phase, additional public meetings will be held to allow community members to provide input to the design process.
