The Cambio Grande project, located along Grande Avenue between Speedway Boulevard and St. Mary’s Road, sought to address pedestrian safety concerns by improving visibility. Area pedestrians, including students from the Arizona School for the Deaf & Blind had difficulty crossing Grande Avenue. The Cambio Grande street revitalization project included: supplemental funding for a HAWK light to be installed near St. Margaret’s Church, ADA pedestrian ramps, sidewalks, accompanying curb cuts, benches, water fountains and shade trees. The final element was a street treatment to the center-turn lane that advises drivers of the pedestrian friendly zone. This project has helped to build community by bringing together neighbors and area stakeholders to plan, design and implement this project.
