Paradise Village Parkway from Cactus Road to Tatum Boulevard

Map showing southwest and east sections of the Paradise Village Parkway loop

A future paving project along the south and east sections of Paradise Village Parkway provides an opportunity for the Phoenix Street Transportation Department to review restriping options that would better accommodate the needs of all roadway users.​

This proposal could remove one travel lane in each direction to add buffered bike lanes. Bike lanes add space between people driving and people walking or biking for increased protection from vehicles, improved safety and added comfort. Additionally, removing one driving lane in each direction to accommodate the buffered bike lanes will help to deter speeding by preventing speeding cars from passing.

Pavement maintenance (new asphalt) is scheduled for 2025, and restriping would happen shortly after paving was completed.​​

Road Design Options​

The department is proposing the following for this corridor:​

Option A: No change. One driving lane in each direction, with no bicycle lanes and a two-way center turning lane from Cactus Road to Tatum Boulevard. From Tatum Boulevard to Tatum Boulevard (eastern portion of loop) there are two driving lanes with no center turning lane.

Option B: One driving lane in each direction, with a buffered bike lane on both sides of the roadway and a center turning lane throughout. Some on-street parking in front of a hotel and multifamily housing on the southwest section would be removed. 

Option A: No changes, one lane in each direction with a center turn lane
Option A: No Changes from from Cactus Road to Tatum Boulevard. Existing design has one lane in each direction with a center turning lane.
Option B image shows two lanes in each direction with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes with painted buffers
Option B: From Cactus Road to Tatum Boulevard, the existing driving lanes and turn lane would remain. Buffered bike lanes in each direction would be added. The existing on-street parking would be removed.
