Large Project Evolution

What Triggers The Need For An Intersection Or
Roadway Project?
Reason for Improvement
How We Identify It________________________________
Safety Concerns
Crash History and Severity and Road Safety Audits (RSA)
Capacity & Congestion
Traffic Counts, Traffic Flow Quality, Geometric Layout Reviews, Field 
Observations, Simulation
Operational Efficiency
Signal Timing Analysis, Speed, Traffic Volumes, Turning Movement Counts, 
Intersection Performance, Arrival and Departure Counts
Pedestrian & Bicycle Needs
Pedestrian/Bicycle Counts, ADA Compliance Survey/Evaluation, User 
Feedback
Land Use Changes
Trip Generation Analysis and Traffic Impact Study_____________
 Key Message: Improvements are based on data-driven assessments to enhance safety, efficiency, and
functionality.

What Solutions Can We Build To Fix The Problems?
•
Dual Left-Turn Lanes/Right Turn Lanes: Typically requires road widening, relocation of curbs, sidewalks, and
utilities to accommodate additional lanes, often necessitating relocation of signal poles, mast arms, and
equipment.
•
Bicycle Lanes: Expanding the roadway to add bike lanes often involves widening the street, adjusting lane
markings, and potentially realigning signals and poles.
•
Road Widening for Through Lanes: Adding through lanes increases capacity but necessitates widening the entire
intersection, which impacts not just the roadway, curbs, sidewalks, and utilities but also the signals, requiring
longer mast arms and new poles.
•
Signal Upgrades to Meet MUTCD Standards: Ensuring proper signal indication alignment and visibility, especially
when adding new lanes, often requires longer mast arms, new signal poles/foundations for all directions.
•
Flashing Yellow Arrows (FYA): Improves safety but often necessitates longer mast arms and new signal poles to
ensure proper coverage for the new lanes.
•
ADA Compliance: Installing or relocating audible push buttons and curb ramp upgrades.
•
Improved Crosswalk Visibility: High-visibility markings and enhanced signage improve safety but may also involve
signal pole realignment and upgraded signage infrastructure.
•
Enhanced Lighting: Improving visibility at night or during poor weather conditions involves adding new lighting
poles or upgrading existing ones to illuminate the expanded roadway.

Arizona Ave/Warner Rd Intersection
The Arizona Avenue and Warner Road intersection was identified by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) as a
top 50 intersection for crash incidences in the MAG region. A Road Safety Assessment, RSA recommended adding dual left
turn lanes for both northbound and southbound traffic on Arizona Ave at Warner, signal phasing changes to better
accommodate traffic flows, installation of dual left-turn lanes on northbound and southbound Arizona Ave to reduce the
severity and number crashes. Arizona Avenue is classified as a high-capacity corridor with multiple road users.

Ray Road / Kyrene Road Intersection
The Ray Road/Kyrene Road program includes intersection includes reconstruction of the intersection to three thru lanes,
dual left turn lanes, right turn lanes, and bike lanes in each direction as well as sidewalks, curb and gutter, street lighting,
traffic signals, storm drainage, landscaping, right-of-way acquisition, and utility relocations.  Construction funding for this
project is beyond this 10-year CIP window

Warner Rd. (Price to Arizona Ave)
Warner Road will be widened from 4 to 6 lanes between Price Rd and Arizona Ave, including intersection
improvements at Dobson Rd, Alma School Rd, and Arizona Ave. Improvements will consist of thru lanes, turn
lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lighting, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), traffic
signals as warranted, storm drainage, landscaping, right-of-way acquisition, and utility relocation. Construction
funding for this project is beyond this 10-year CIP window

This program provides funding for small safety related projects and developer agreements that arise outside of the normal
budget cycle. The program also provides budget appropriation for “year-end closeout” federal grants for various projects
and for other federal, state, or county grants. The notification of these grants is often received after the budget has been
finalized. The program includes $4 million in grant appropriation for these unforeseen grant awards.

Chandler maintains about 2,090 lane miles of streets. The Streets Division inventories all streets on a four-year cycle to
evaluate pavement condition. Pavement Quality Index (PQI) is tracked to determine maintenance priority. Streets with a
PQI of 40 or less (scale of 1 to 100) are scheduled for repaving. Asphalt seals and  ADA related concrete sidewalk
replacement are also part of this program.
