City of Tucson's Grant Road Improvement Plan
New and wider sidewalks, more signalized crosswalks, improved bicycle lanes, and enhanced landscaping will greatly improve both the pedestrian and bicyclist use and the appearance of Grant Road. A median and managed access to businesses will improve safety, and new local access lanes will provide a safer and easier way to get to and from residences and businesses in congested areas. Grant-Oracle Improvement ProjectThe area of the Grant Road and Oracle Road intersection has been selected as the first improvement project to be reconstructed as part of the Grant Road Improvement Plan. The project is currently in the design stage and construction is anticipated to begin in 2011. This project has been accelerated and will occur two years earlier than the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) has scheduled reconstruction. This project will serve as a template for future improvements on Grant Road and will showcase the unique design features and innovations for the entire roadway. This project will also bring much needed benefits of improved safety, mobility and access for those who live, work, drive, walk and bike at the Grant-Oracle intersection. This public investment will deliver benefits for users of Grant and Oracle and will also create jobs and provide economic stimulus for the region.

Welcome to the official web site of the Grant Road Improvement Plan. Planning for the improvement of the five-mile section of Grant Road between Oracle Road and Swan Road is nearly complete. Hundreds of members of the public have provided input on numerous design innovations, landscaping, public art and other elements of the roadway. Businesses and residents have also helped develop strategies to enhance the sustainability and vitality of businesses and residential areas along Grant Road. When complete, Grant Road will greatly improve our region's east-west mobility by adding a new travel lane in each direction and significant enhancements to improve transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use.
