Tempe is designing a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) located near Los Feliz Drive, just south of Apache Boulevard and north of Broadway Road. View the project map PDF. This crossing would connect to the Country Club Way Project south of the US 60 and the Smith Road Improvements Project north of Apache Boulevard. Preliminary design is anticipated to be complete Summer 2024. Staff continues to pursue additional grant funding opportunities, however, there is no timeline on final design/construction.

The proposed ADA-accessible pedestrian bridge with lighting, landscaping, public art and shade will become the sixth BIKEiT Bike Boulevard route, Reflector.

The Reflector BIKEiT route will connect to the light rail, Western Canal Path, ASU Research Park, Smith Innovation Hub, Rio Salado Path, Tempe Marketplace, and the Escalante neighborhood.

Funding for this project is provided through Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Design Assistance grant program. This project is the first step in the overall design process which will develop a project assessment report, cost estimate, and 15% preliminary design for a preferred alternative. Final design and construction funding has not yet been identified.
