Stop using roundabouts. No one pays attention to who has the right of way.

ReplyI agree with the other poster. Too many drivers don't know how to navigate the roundabouts.
Like Liked 1 timeThis rotary lacks visual appeal, as both the bricks and the sad attempt to invoke the idea of water with the blue tiles is just ugly. Also, despite the wonderful statues, a driver cannot see across the raised bricks to proceed safely around. Plus the lanes are much too narrow for large trucks. Instead of cartoon drawing, let's re design this rotary both for safety and visual appeal.
Like Liked 2 timesFuture roundabouts must be significantly larger to be effective. European city have this capability and are extremely effective. Current traffic volume is to high and semi-trailers have a hard time navigating the current roundabouts.
Like Liked 5 timesThe roundabout is under sized because the interchange at I-10 needs to be completely redesigned (similar to Twin Peeks) and move traffic and trucks off southbound Sandario Road. Finishing the road to Marana Main Street will also help.

Remove the roundabout & replace with a traffic light. No one pays attention to who has the right of way. The roundabout area is dark & has been struck several times by drivers not paying attention.

ReplyRoundabouts save energy, are safer, and save time, but people have to be educated on the right of way rules and they need to be big enough to allow more cars within them. We need more roundabout and fewer lights.

ReplyWhen I have to come to a complete stop ON the highway because there are so many cars exiting, I call this extremely dangerous
Like Liked 12 timesHeavy trucks unable to accelerate to freeway speeds creates safety hazards for vehicles stuck behind them. Additional lane is needed, so send the trucks down to Avra Valley onramp.

Reopen the frontage road here, so big trucks aren’t trying to make a left to get to the frontage road or the freeway. This will avoid the need to install another traffic light.

ReplyAbsolutely. Have the frontage road open and continue to the Tangerine Rd intersection. Traffic that wants to go west can turn left at W Crossroads Trail. All remaining traffic needs to go south, not turn.

We need transportation back out this way. It's RIDICULOUS how the old transit route was changed to a dial a ride route. Ans a dial a ride stop is being used as an old bus stop. Dial a ride has been proven far to unreliable at one point my ride was rescheduled or aka pushed BACK THREE times....are you guys going to pay my late fee for missed drs appointments? Are you the reason why I can't pick up my kid from.school on time...where ONLY HALF MY ROUTE is covered bc I have to get a damn lyft or Uber.....who doesn't ever like coming out this far bc of whatever reason...not the tip bc that comes AFTER the service
Your partnerships with transportation services is in POOR SHAPE! GET better relationships with companies that service your residents!
Just LISTEN to what we've BEEN saying!!!!!!!!!!!!Liked 7 times

ReplyThese builders running their trucks up and down Moore Rd. from the Frontage Road will be long gone after they destroyed this road: anybody in Town Hall making them repair this road or are the taxpayers subsidizing their fat paydays?

There are too many different roads right here. Need merged together or reworked for safety.

Interchange needs to be widened and go over the train tracks. Timing of lights should also be addressed - perhaps consider double green arrows (before and after the green light) like what was done at thornydale/orange grove during the ina/i10 construction.

ReplyThis is the busiest intersection crossing Interstate 10. With the train tracks delay traffic is backed up and dangerous. This intersection needs rebuilt like Ina and Twin Peaks. It is well past needing upgraded. It should have been done before Ina was done.
Like Liked 20 timesThe interchange needs to be redone but we know this is an ADOT project, too. In the meantime, could the lights be reprogrammed so traffic moves more efficiently? Waiting for 3-4 light cycles is normal.
Like Liked 9 timesThis intersection is one I avoid based on the wait time, congestion, and trains. The first thing they need to do is put in an overpass.
Like Liked 9 timesI-10/Cortaro needs a complete revamp. There is so much traffic going East/West and coming off the freeway that you can get stuck for multiple light cycles.
Like Liked 7 timesAgreed! This should have been done 20 years ago, before all the businesses so close to I-10 went up.
As mentioned in another comment, a lot of the traffic could be alleviated by re-programming the traffic lights, to alternate traffic from ONE direction at a time. This would allow all the traffic from each direction to get through the I-10 intersection completely in a single light cycle, regardless of their destination (continuing on Cortaro or continuing on I-10), and without having to wait for a multi-year construction nightmare.
Alternate traffic flow between EB->SB->WB->NB, and we'll be able to get a lot of traffic through in a single cycle. The way they are programmed now, you get a lot of vehicles queued up under I-10 and have to wait for at least 2 light cycles. Of course, you'll want to make sure the next lights are also coordinated (Cerius Stra. and AZ Pavilions), to ensure the traffic keeps flowing.
We should be doing this already on Avra Valley, Tangerine, Marana, or you'll be in the same situation by 2033.
Like Liked 1 timeSit through this light for an hour and you will see at least 5 or more drivers turn into the wrong lane from the frontage road going East under the pass. The signage for the 2 left turn lanes is lacking. People unfamiliar with the turn don't realize the right most left turn lane is on the other side of the barriers. I see and experience this every single time I sit at this intersection
Like Liked 1 timeI agree with all these comments. An interchange like Ina and Twin Peaks is needed urgently. So much traffic goes through here and the traffic light timing and trains make it worse.

This whole exchange is difficult to navigate. Even without train delays. Traffic coming from east bound is at a greater disadvantage if they are behind someone wanting to turn left.

ReplyThis whole interchange is difficult to navigate if coming off exit traveling eastbound, ie: cars wanting to turn left on Sandario, people turning left on frontage after making right on Sandario taking kids to school.
Like Liked 10 timesMorning traffic is really tough to navigate, especially with people exiting gas stations and making left turns from Marana (illegally).
Like Liked 13 timesRequest increase advocacy with ADOT. The Marana IT is a urgent need and safely of live issue. INA/I-10 IT solution is what Marana needs for current growth projections.

ReplyDove Mountain Blvd ends at Dove Mountain West Park. There are 2 more subdivisions of homes being built here not including the current ones from Mattamy. Too many people live here and the road dead ends at the park. In case of emergency this road needs to continue through to I10 or to W Tangerine to offer another way to leave the mountain area.
Like Liked 17 timesDMB was NOT supposed to go through to ANYWHERE when this area was developed. I do NOT want it to go to I-10
Like Liked 2 timesDo not extend Dove Mountain Blvd. The Dove Mountain Specific Plan and associated transportation plan was designed to end at DM West Park. NW Fire has a fire emergency escape plan. There is no need for any more roadways in Dove Mountain as there are tremendous environmental impacts. Let it be.
Like Liked 2 timesDove Mountain Blvd needs to not be a dead end. It's ridiculous to have to back track all the way down to get to I-10.
Like Liked 1 timeDove Mountain needs to be extended or given some sort of cut through to the freeway. It doesn't necessarily be an extension at the end, but it would be nice to have an alternative path.
