Feedback is wanted on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s El Mirage Road extension and widening project between Loop 303 and Jomax Road.

The public can comment at a virtual public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

The proposed improvements include the following:

• A two-mile extension of El Mirage from Loop 303 and Jomax.
• Constructing crossings over McMicken Wash and the Beardsley Canal.
• Adding signalized intersections at El Mirage and Happy Valley roads.

Residents will have the chance to ask questions and provide comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment and Initial Design Concept Report, which will be the focus of the hearing.

Comments must be related to the draft EA or proposed project and will be capped at three minutes to ensure everyone has time to participate.

The draft EA and initial DCR are currently available for review on the project website under the Resources tab at elmirageroadextension.com/resources.

Printed copies of both documents are also available through Friday, Oct. 24 at Sunrise Mountain Library, 21109 N. 98th Ave.

The 30-day comment period continues through 5 p.m. Oct. 24.

Comments can be emailed to Info@ElMirageRoadExtension.com or at 623-377-9030.
