The Phoenix Street Transportation Department continues to explore modifications to the design of Fillmore Street in downtown Phoenix to create safer east to west connectivity for people riding bicycles, or using other modes of active transportation.
In spring 2022, parking and two traffic lanes were removed on Fillmore Street between Central Avenue and 7th Street, and buffered and protected bike lanes were added on both sides of that corridor.
The Street Transportation Department completed the study phase in 2025. The Department is now seeking funding for design and construction, which may occur in stages, depending on funding availability. Any projects resulting from this study would connect to the changes that were made in 2022 to Fillmore Street east of Central Avenue to 7th Street.
Other bicycle infrastructure improvements in the downtown region that would enhance the Fillmore Street projects include:
Recommended concept presented at November 7, 2024 public meeting
Public input is valuable to the feasibility study and pre-design phase of the Fillmore Street project. Input from residents, businesses and other stakeholders in the area will help the Street Transportation Department develop future roadway design concepts in the downtown region.
The video recording of the first virtual public meeting viewable above was hosted via Webex on February 8, 2024 at 6 p.m., to present an update to the community.
A follow-up virtual meeting was held on November 7, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. to share how the team used community input from February to select a preferred concept. A recording of the meeting is posted above.
