alternative access to the Rancho Vistoso area in northern Oro Valley. The study recommended the use of Alternative B2 for the alignment for reasons because: • It does not have major property impacts on the affected properties except the Alden property, and the affected property owners indicated that they would accept this alternative due to the access advantages. • The alignment is located primarily within the Town of Oro Valley jurisdictional limits. • The alignment does not have major impacts on natural and riparian areas. • The alternative has a reasonable planning level cost and good feasibility of cost recovery with respect to resale of right of way. • It is one of the least disruptive of the alternatives on existing residences located outside the Town limits in terms of noise and other traffic related impacts. • It provides one of the most direct routes between La Cañada Drive and the Rancho Vistoso Access Road. 2.5.4 Implementation of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, Annual Report, Town of Oro Valley, Department of Public Works, April 2002 This report provides information as to the implementation status of the Revised Bikeway Plan that was adopted in April 2001. This document relates to the SR 77 corridor study because it describes newly implemented bike and pedestrian facilities in the study area and it discusses planned projects. Completed projects within the study area are: • Copper Creek Loop: Signs have been installed along Copper Springs Tail, Copper Creek Trail and Silver Leaf Drive • Arrowsmith Drive: Signings and striping were completed by the Public Works Department in the Spring of 2001 giving cyclists a connection for Rancho Vistoso to Woodburne Avenue. • Moore Road: Upon completion of the newly paved portion of Moore Road west of Woodburne Avenue, bike lane striping and signage were installed. • Woodburne Avenue, north of Moore Road, was signed for bikes with information directing cyclists to the path leading through Woodshade Park. • Hidden Springs has been striped and signed for bicycle travel. This is the western connector from Woodshade Park heading north toward Stone Canyon and the Golf Villas. • Vistoso Highlands, the northwestern-most bike route in Oro Valley, has been signed and striped. • Copper Spring Trail north of Tangerine Road , now signed and soon to be striped for cyclists, makes the connection between Moore Road and Cooper Creek Loop. • Proposal for Revised Striping Plan on Del Webb and Sun City: The existing bike facilities along Del Webb and Sun City were originally striped and signed on one side only. • General Plan Update: Drafts for both the Circulation Element and the Bicycle/Pedestrian component have been submitted to the Planning Department for review. • A Transportation Enhancement Grant proposal was submitted to PAG (Pima Association of Governments) for a half-mile segment of the proposed shared use path along the CDO behind Home Depot that had no programmed funding. SR 77/Oracle Road Multimodal Corridor Profile Study May 2007 Final Report Page 2-16
• A Feasibility Study was completed on the proposed construction of the shared use path along the CDO Wash from La Cañada Drive to First Avenue and was presented to various Town Departments for their review and ownership. • An Enhanced Pedestrian Safety and Crossing Evaluation Study is being conducted. • Adopted Bicycle Facility Standards: A uniform standard for bicycle facilities has been proposed. • Transportation Enhancement Grant: In July 2002 a grant proposal will be submitted to PAG for building the 2.7 mile path along the southern bank of the CDO Wash between La Cañada Drive and First Avenue. • Pedestrian Safety Projects: The Bicycle Program Coordinator reviewed three specific areas that are potentially hazardous for pedestrians. First was the intersection north and southbound on Woodburne Avenue at Moore Road. Proposed Projects • With the possibility of annexation of adjacent existing roadways, an inventory of available bike routes has been conducted and proposed additions have been mapped. • Proposed roadways that are currently in design for reconstruction will all have an eight-foot multi-use lane (paved shoulder) available for cyclists. Most will also have a separate shared use path. Currently in design are Tangerine Road, First Avenue, Lambert Lane, La Cañada Drive, and Pusch View Lane. • The seven-mile shared-use path along the CDO Wash and Big Wash. This project will slowly unfold as funding is available and development occurs adjacent to the washes. • Proposed is a 12-foot wide paved path for cyclists, skaters and pedestrians with dirt shoulders suitable for jogging. 2.5.5 Traffic Impact Study for the Oro Valley Town Center Development, DMJM Harris, April 2002 The Oro Valley Town Center is a proposed commercial/residential development located on the east side of SR 77, between Pusch View Lane and La Reserve Drive in Oro Valley, Arizona. The planned development includes retail shopping facilities, a pharmacy/drug store, office space, restaurants, hotel, bank, convenience store, parking, and residential townhomes. The study stated that the Town of Oro Valley has plans to establish an improvement district between the property owners on the east and west sides of Oracle Road to share in the costs of improving Oracle Road. The improvements tentatively include widening Oracle Road to include widening to three lanes in each direction from Pusch View Lane to La Reserve Drive. Access to the site will be obtained by two signalized intersections, one at Pusch View Lane and one at First Avenue, and via three driveways that allow right-turn in, right-turn out movements. An internal road system will allow internal movements for both commercial and residential properties without the need to reenter Oracle Road. The Oro Valley Town Center development is expected to generate 44,000 trips per weekday. The relevant recommendations of the study are: 1. Reconstruct Oracle Road to a six-lane roadway with raised median from south leg of Pusch View Lane through the north leg of La Reserve Drive.
