Rainbow Boulevard – The second radial alignment is Rainbow Boulevard, which extends<br />
south of CC-215 and provides a direct connection to SR-160. Rainbow Boulevard is the<br />
major arterial serving the Pinnacle Peaks residential subdivision. Between SR-160 and CC-<br />
215, it will be widened to four lanes by 2007 (i.e., two lanes in each direction) and to six<br />
lanes within ten years and it will be extended south to Jean and Sloan as part of the 25 year<br />
capital improvement plan. Access will be controlled with medians at stop lights. Rainbow<br />
Boulevard also serves several local retail and commercial strip malls between SR-160 and<br />
CC-215.<br />
