New homes are starting to dot a previously sparse area of northwest Surprise west of Grand Avenue and north and south of Deer Valley Road.
As the April 15 Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission meeting made plain, many more houses are coming soon. That accelerates commissioners’ concerns for residents trying to get into — and in particular out of — North Copper Canyon.
Residents’ link to the rest of Surprise is to head south to Deer Valley Road and out to Grand Avenue. Right now the intersection of Grand and Deer Valley lacks a traffic light or even an acceleration lane in either direction.
