There needs to be an overpass here, however, you allow new buildings to be built so close to the freeway, so I am not sure how ADOT would be able to accommodate an overpass.

ReplyNot sure who you mean by "you" ,I bet if you actually asked working residents YOU would get a response about the importance of access to I-10 not a bunch of fast food buildings.

Traffic control for the shopping centers.
Currently, the lights for traffic flowing from the shopping centers onto pavillions do not easily allow for the flows. Could signal operation be changed to allowing all traffic from one center (left, stright, right), then all traffic from the opposing center, then handle pavillions traffic as separate straight/ left turn as currently programmed.Liked 0 times

Consider putting some kind of vertical element along the yellow stripe for the NB left turn lane, maybe like the half domes they use in Phoenix. People try to make a SB left turn into the QT and either block SB traffic or use the NB left turn lane, causing confusion.

The "pavement" added as part of the silverbell/ Ina intersection re-configuration, and into the merging lanes south of the interchange is laughable. Make the contractor come back and repair it appropriately. Some areas are so poor its likel driving on a forest road.

Thraffic flow from Pavillions moving west along Cortaro and onto Northbound Silverbell.
It was great when you added the third lane accross the bridge, however I think the flow pattern could be revised to better suit the bulk of traffic. It seems that the majority of traffic on Cortaro heading westbound towards Silverbell end up going northbound on silverbell. The minority either crosses silverbell or turns southbound. Yet, the traffic flow of the 3 lanes still forces westbound traffic to maneuver over into the right most lanes to make northbound Silverbell.
If the natura;l flow of the two lanes of westbound coratro were changed to continue flow onto Northbound silverbell, and you broke the straight/ southbound traffic off it would likely help with the merging issues on the bridge. Adding space for the apartment/ shopping center to have a separated turn lane would also help alleviate congestion and backups.Liked 1 time

Pavement conditions on Camino De Manana are terrible. Road needs to be brought up to modern standards with improved drainage and actual shoulders. The pavement constantly crumbles since it is directly laid over sand. A paved sidewalk or walking path would also be much appreciated. This road gets a lot of traffic as bypass from Twin Peaks to Tangerine.

ReplyI agree with this. This road has become very busy and in its current state cannot deal with the current traffic load. The road surface needs to be re done to modern standards.

This transition from horizontal to slopped(south bound) is too sever for normal bicycle speeds that are typical on most other locations on the loop system. The radius of the curves suggest the speed. The curve radius at this location suggest a speed that is too fast for this sudden dropping transition. From the scrapes in the concrete surface, several bicycles have crashed here.

Needs better traffic control. I have had to sit in traffic for two lights before I was able to turn left onto nb thornydale

ReplyI think the west leg of this intersection just needs to be widened, although I know that will require widening the bridge. Past improvements to striping on the east leg helped, but there is just too much traffic coming from the Costco area for that to be enough.

Extend Dove Mountain boulevard to I-10

ReplyYES! Something needs to be developed to give an easier path, if desired, to get to I-10 or twin peaks area.
Like Liked 0 timesOne of the benefits of living on Dove Mountain is the lack of through traffic. I would not like a road connection through to I10. The traffic from Tangerine going west on I10 would divert up this way.

The point was made elsewhere that anyone who purchased up here knew that there was no plan to connect through. -
Light seems to be programmed on set schedule instead of using sensors to trigger lights early in the morning. Often will arrive at the light around 5AM southbound on Thornydale with no other traffic and will have to sit through all Ina straight and turn arrows even when no traffic is there to trigger them.

Thornydale Road must be expanded to a four lane road! The growth in this part of town demands improvement to the existing road infrastructure.

ReplyAgreed. Why was all the money spent re-paving a few years ago and not push harder to move towards 4 lanes.
Like Liked 3 timesUnfortunately, south part of Thornydale is county not the city, and the county is useless. Maybe Marana could annex this portion and make the road right.

Exactly, or make the middle lane one that can be used to go left, straight, or right.
Like Liked 1 timeThat middle lane hardly ever gets used, most traffic is turning left of right, and the traffic turning right doesn't always have to wait for the green light, so as noted by comment above, traffic trying to turn left backs up very quickly.

Can an additional exit from the Costco parking lot onto Thornydale be created? The only current way out is Costco Drive, which is always congested. A new exit could be created by the Supercuts on the south end, or perhaps connecting the Costco parking lot with that of the business park just south of it.
