The city of Apache Junction and Maricopa Association of Governments are reviewing applicants for a consultant to run a study of U.S. Highway 60 from Ironwood Drive to Kings Ranch Road in Gold Canyon.
City staff last year contacted MAG about the projected future travel demand on U.S. 60, Management Analyst Robert Wisler told the city council March 3.
“(W)e saw future traffic forecast data in 2050, even in 2040-50 data we were seeing the U.S. 60 was not meeting the capacity that was projected on that roadway,” he said. “MAG proposed doing a corridor study — basically to outline what the future conditions of that corridor should be, what improvements need to be made on it so it functions well.”
