City of Tucson's Grant Road Improvement Plan
New and wider sidewalks, more signalized crosswalks, improved bicycle lanes, and enhanced landscaping will greatly improve both the pedestrian and bicyclist use and the appearance of Grant Road. A median and managed access to businesses will improve safety, and new local access lanes will provide a safer and easier way to get to and from residences and businesses in congested areas. Grant Road Reconstruction Schedule Announced.Based on the availability of funding, construction efficiency, technical requirements, and input from the public and the Grant Road Task Force, the planning team has finalized the schedule for the improvement of Grant Road. The reconstruction of Grant Road has been divided into six segment projects. The reconstruction of these projects will begin earlier than anticipated, in 2011, and will continue spanning the Regional Transportation Authority’s (RTA) second, third and fourth funding periods (2013-2026). The first project to be reconstructed will be the improvement of the Grant Road and Oracle Road intersection between 15th Avenue and Castro Avenue with right-of-way being acquired east to Stone Avenue.

Welcome to the official web site of the Grant Road Improvement Plan. Planning for the improvement of the five-mile section of Grant Road between Oracle Road and Swan Road is nearly complete. Hundreds of members of the public have provided input on numerous design innovations, landscaping, public art and other elements of the roadway. Businesses and residents have also helped develop strategies to enhance the sustainability and vitality of businesses and residential areas along Grant Road. When complete, Grant Road will greatly improve our region's east-west mobility by adding a new travel lane in each direction and significant enhancements to improve transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use.
