Residents out shopping during Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30 are invited to a special town event celebrating the opening of downtown core connectors.
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. by Queen Creek Town Hall, 22350 S. Ellsworth Road.
The town invested in infrastructure through the construction of three downtown core connectors — Aldecoa Drive, Munoz Street and Summers Place. The roadways will be open to motorists after the event.
Along with providing connectivity between Ellsworth Loop and Ellsworth Road, the new roadways include traffic calming mechanisms, off-street bicycle paths and public angled parking, according to a town press release. Other amenities such as shade structures and seating are adjacent to the roadways. Construction also included water, sewer, storm water and drainage improvements.
“The roadways were designed and built with the vision of creating a vibrant and walkable district in the heart of the Town Center. One of the key attributes to developing a walkable downtown is to create urban blocks that make for shorter walks from one place to another with areas of interest along the way,” the release continued.
