Mesa has begun roadway and safety improvements along Hampton Avenue between Crismon Road and Signal Butte Road, with work expected to be completed by late November.
The project is designed to enhance safety and accessibility for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, according to a press release.
Planned improvements include:
•A new pedestrian crossing with a raised median to improve safety and ease of crossing;
•Bike lane striping and signage to support cyclist connectivity; and
•Pavement resurfacing and durable epoxy markings to extend roadway life and improve visibility.
Construction will occur in phases, beginning with pavement resurfacing, followed by lane striping and installation of the pedestrian crossing and raised median. Temporary lane closures will be in place along sections of Hampton Avenue, but detours will be clearly marked. Access to neighborhoods and businesses will remain open throughout the project.
This corridor was prioritized due to pavement maintenance needs and its proximity to schools, neighborhoods and community hubs. The upgrades align with Mesa’s Safer Streets initiative, which focuses on projects that protect pedestrians, support active transportation and improve traffic flow citywide.
