Project Sponsor: Tempe
Funding Source(s): Federal – Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program

V. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

FHWA and ADOT are assisting the City of Tempe with planning a multi-use path and
streetscape improvement project. The primary project objective is to improve bicycle,
pedestrian, and transit facilities along 8th Street to respond to the current land use activities and
multi-modal travel in the area. The other project objective is to improve air quality in the area by
improving multi-modal travel elements in the area.

The project is located within City of Tempe right-of-way (ROW) along 8th Street from Rural Road
to McClintock Drive. The ROW width varies along the corridor from 66’ to 73’. There is an
abandoned rail line property, Creamery Branch, (32’ wide) located north of 8th Street ROW way
west of Dorsey Lane. This property was conveyed to the City by the Union Pacific Railroad in
2003. The west end of the corridor includes an irrigation easement over a 9.33’ strip of the
existing 8th Street ROW granted by the City of Tempe to Salt River Project (SRP) (City of Tempe
Ordinance No. 2012.25). This area also includes the transfer of a 12.5’ strip of the existing 8th
City of Tempe
