Midtown Core Transportation Study
North Park Central along with several other local neighborhood associations (Carnation, St. Gregory, Grandview, and the Melrose Business District) have been concerned about the increase in traffic accidents resulting in injuries and property damage. They City Council requested this study in response to a petition seeking to end reverse lanes during rush hour. They felt they did not have enough information to make a decision at the time and punted the review until after the study.
The City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is studying how transportation should evolve in Midtown Phoenix as the area continues to develop. The study will use recent traffic analysis, new growth projections, and public insights to explore ways to enhance safety, improve mobility and strengthen connectivity for everyone traveling in and around Midtown. A public meeting was held on Thursday, May 7 at 6:00pm.
