Timelines

Planning for the Grant Road Improvements began in late 2006 and will continue through 2008-09 with extensive citizen participation. A Citizen Task Force will be responsible for developing visions and guiding principles for the plan as well as overseeing the development, evaluation, and selection of concept alternatives that will be transformed into planning documents and preliminary designs.

At the end of the planning process (2009) the Grant Road Improvement Plan will be adopted as an official City of Tucson Area Plan. Plan policies will guide future development and redevelopment along Grant Road. Construction of the roadway and streetscape is expected to begin in 2012-13. Construction will be phased to minimize impacts on a specific segment of the corridor.
