Country Club Way improvements continue through December

The Country Club Way Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project continues to progress with an estimated completion in early 2025. 

The project stretches from US 60 to north of Warner Road, following ASU Research Park, Country Club Way, Shutterfly Way and Watson Drive, a city release explained.

It includes a 10-ft.-wide concrete path, an equestrian path (from Warner Road to Elliot Road), landscaping, lighting, a shade structure and a pedestrian-activated signal at Warner Road. The on-street portions will see new bike lanes, crosswalks and sidewalk ramps, and pavement resurfacing; and travel lanes will not be removed, the release stated.

Work hours are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 a.m. for concrete pours. The upcoming work listed below is anticipated to begin mid-November to December:

• Adjustment of Americans with Disabilities Act (ramps and curbs on the corners of Vaughn Street, Woodman Drive, Redfield Road, Diamond Drive, Carmen Street, Bendix Drive and Lodge Drive
• Median installation on Country Club Way between Woodman Drive and Guadalupe Road
• Traffic crossing signal installation at Elliot Road
• Installation of traffic calming curb extensions known as “chicanes” on Country Club Way between Harvard Drive and Baseline Road
• Irrigation work at Country Club Way and Guadalupe Road and Country Club Way and Baseline Road from Harvard Drive to Rice Drive
• Installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps at Baseline Road and Country Club Way and Guadalupe Road and Country Club Way
• Relocating traffic signals at Baseline Road and Guadalupe Road (ongoing)
• Reopening of a portion of the multi-use path starting at Citation Lane to Warner Road
• Installation of a pedestrian signal at Warner Road

Striping work along Country Club Way from Carson Drive to Guadalupe Road is underway, residents may have noticed new striping symbols “Sharrows” and lanes on the road. 

The addition of “Sharrows” signifies a shared lane where both vehicle and bicycle traffic share a traffic lane accompanied by a buffer zone to distance bicyclists from potential conflicts with doors from parked vehicles, the release explained.

Access to residences will be maintained during this work, but residents should be aware of barricades, signage, detours and lane restrictions. 

Plan for extra travel time as traffic lanes will be closed or restricted. Project dates and hours are subject to change due to weather, equipment or other unforeseen issues in the field.
