BACKGROUND Dysart Road between Peoria Avenue and Northern Parkway is under the jurisdiction of El Mirage. Dysart Road was identified as a “Road of Regional Significance” in the 1999 Maricopa Association of Governments (“MAG”) study and currently has one lane in each direction between Northern Parkway and Peoria Avenue. El Mirage desires to widen this section of Dysart Road to two through lanes in each direction, including a raised median, bike lanes, driveways as appropriate and curbs and gutters, all according to MAG standards (collectively, the “Project”). A portion of the roadway to be improved on Dysart Road is within the jurisdiction of Glendale. El Mirage and Glendale would like to move forward with the construction of widening Dysart Road from Peoria Avenue to Northern Parkway for the safety and benefit of the motoring public. Construction of the Project will not commence until the design plans are reviewed, approved and permitted by both agencies. Page | 1 El Mirage/Glendale Dysart Rd IGA TERMS OF AGREEMENT 5.
