Because of increased construction costs, the Arizona Department of Transportation is providing $243,247 to help pay for bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Idaho Road from Superstition Boulevard to McKellips Road in Apache Junction.
The city council on July 19 voted 6-0 to approve the funding as part of an amended agreement in a consent agenda with other items. Councilmember Bambi Johnson was absent.
