Project Summary:

The principal focus of the proposed study is to update the previous 1999 Town of Sahuarita Small Area Transportation Study. Significant population growth and economic development in the Sahuarita area requires new comprehensive planning to address growing demands placed on Sahuarita roads and streets. In addition, this growth and development calls for an examination of transit needs and opportunities. The major product of the study will be a final report which contains recommendations for a Major Streets and Routes Plan and a plan for improvements over five- and ten-year periods, and a long-range transportation plan incorporating roadways, non-motorized transportation modes, and transit in the study area.

The Town of Sahuarita Area Transportation Planning Study will be conducted according to a cooperative planning process involving stakeholders that include public agency staff, elected officials, and the public.  Throughout the study, information will be presented to and solicited from stakeholders through individual interviews, focus group meetings, public meetings, and other means of communication.
