FLAGSTAFF, Ariz – Starting the week of June 1, the City of Flagstaff, in partnership with Mountain Line and their contractor, Kinney Construction Services, will begin pedestrian crossing improvements in multiple locations along Soliere Avenue. These improvements are part of the “First Mile, Last Mile Initiative” which aims to add safe pedestrian infrastructure near Mountain Line bus stops throughout the City. Most of these crossings will feature a pedestrian refuge median, meaning pedestrians will only need to cross one lane of traffic at a time.
Pedestrian crossings will be installed in the following locations (also shown in the map below):
- Soliere Avenue and Fox Lair Drive (east)
- Soliere Avenue and Fox Lair Drive (west)/Brian’s Way
- Soliere Avenue and Elk Run Street
- Soliere Avenue and Butterfield Drive
- Soliere Avenue and Timberline Drive
Work may occur Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. One lane of traffic in each direction will always remain open throughout construction. Businesses, schools, and residential communities will remain fully accessible throughout the project. Motorists can expect travel delays, construction equipment in the roadway and traffic control devices. Periodic sidewalk and pedestrian closures may be necessary. Please follow the marked signage, drive safely throughout the project corridor, and consider using an alternative route if possible.
Thank you for supporting this important work to increase pedestrian safety in our City. For questions or additional information, visit connect.flagstaffaz.gov/first-mile-last-mile-pedestrian-improvements or call the Project Hotline at (928) 255-5153.
