Phase I Pre-Final DSR Summary

This DSR addresses Phase I (Westpark Drive to Sand Lake Road) only. Final design and construction for Phase II (Jodhpur Street to Westpark Drive) will not advance until full construction funding becomes available. West Dimond Boulevard, Phase I, is a two-lane east-west collector without curbs or pedestrian facilities.

Phase I Objectives:

1. Provide pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the project corridor;
2. Improve safety by: improving horizontal and vertical geometry; separating vehicles from pedestrians and bicyclists; and calming traffic;
3. Upgrade the roadway and intersections to current municipal road standards;
4. Upgrade a public facility for adequate capacity for the future growth and development of the area for the next 20-30 years;
5. Provide major intersections that will operate at adequate service levels in the future; and
6. Reduce long-term road maintenance by providing greater durability to the road surface.
