Project Overview
The Phoenix Street Transportation Department is planning to implement a series of improvements along 20th Street between Glendale Avenue and the Grand Canal south of Osborn Road.
The 20th Street project corridor was identified as the fourth priority out of 39 corridors for implementation in the Phoenix Bicycle Master Plan adopted by City Council in November 2014.
In 2016, city staff applied for and were awarded a Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Design Assistance Grant. The grant will fund an assessment report of the current conditions and develop a series of safety improvements for the 20th Street bicycle corridor.
20th Street has two to four travel lanes in the corridor and can provide a safe, easy, rideable and walkable thoroughfare to connect residents to schools, employment, restaurants and shopping (Town and Country Shopping Center, Camelback Colonnade Center), and major bus routes. The proposed project will greatly enhance connectivity with existing and planned bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and transit service for this transportation corridor.
The proposed plan for this project maintains the existing number of travel lanes on 20th Street, enhances pedestrian safety and includes various bicycle lane designs such as buffered bike lanes.
