There should be a no U Turn sign here. People go thru the Tacobell parking lot, zoom across 2 lanes to get in the turn lane that is meant to turn into the Ace Hardware mall but then make a U turn instead of waiting at the main Frys/Tacobell road to cross. The people waiting there correctly barely have a chance to cross in the first place but now have to watch out for these impatient drivers to avoid accidents.

Gilbert rd and Hackamore by mesquite jr high has an empty lot with weeds growing over and it needs attention. The chain link fence is crossed over the sidewalk(if there is one I can’t tell over the weeds). If you are walking to the bus stop you either walk on the road or cross to the other side.

Property owners along Encinas St west of Cooper Rd need to improve the front yard landscaping and a sidewalk adjacent to the road. There is a box truck parked in a driveway 24 hrs a day for advertising a business in Casa Grande.

ReplyUmm, that's their property. Just because you don't like doesn't mean that they have to change for you.
Like Liked 1 timeIt's against Town Code. If you like a lot of unsightly properties go look at Guadalupe, South Phoenix/Laveen, Mesa and Apache Junction for instance.
Like Liked 1 timeAre there ordinances restricting storing RVs and other commercial vehicles on property like this homeowner is doing? Currently, the weeds are growing excessively around the vehicle being stored.

Closed down restaurants and open land should be developed into multi-use open spaces, local eateries, outdoor patios and businesses that could be frequented by the multiple apartments/neighborhoods that have gone in and the bike path north of the Square.

ReplyThere are a couple shops in this area that are a great example of being a beloved attaction for local residents. Developing/revitalizing the remaining area would help bring more of what is working here.

A right hand turning lane at the intersection is really needed to help with the flow of traffic

ReplyOn Gilbert Rd & Elliot Rd intersection, North bound traffic backs up and blocks streets, E Palo Verde and E Silver creek. Signage explaining not to block intersections. I think A right turn lane should help as well.

ReplyUnfortunately a massive apartment complex is in the planning stages for this location. The land was rezoned from light industrial despite the town's planning staff opposition to this proposed 278-unit, 55-foot tall multifamily complex.

Too many vacant store fronts. What is the town of Gilbert going to do to bring in retail and restaurants? What can be done to incentivize and bring that business to McQueen and Guadalupe? There are so many people living near that area that could utilize those types of businesses.

Very unsightly stretch of road. Baseline between AZ Ave and McQueen and McQueen between Baseline just before Guadalupe. There's lack of proper fencing to block the scrap yards and port o potty businesses. The landscaping on the sidewalk areas needs a lot of TLC as well. Businesses/property managers need to care about their front image.

ReplyAgree, looks terrible and junky coming into the town. Suggest high concrete fencing and get rid of wire and razor wire fencing.

I'm not sure this would be the correct solution. People do this U-turn *because* making a left out of the plaza is difficult and dangerous. True, waiting for these U-turners can potentially increase the wait further for those making a left but the same is true if someone simply goes to the farther exit to make right turns.
Short of putting a traffic light here there really isn't a good solution. The parking lot layout doesn't even lend itself to expansion for dedicated left/right turning lanes that would take some pressure off the exit. But I don't think forbidding a safer alternative to that left turn is the right answer.
