Naranja Drive Multi-Use Path: La Cañada Drive to First Avenue
Contents
Project Overview
The Arizona Department of Transportation and Town of Oro Valley have started construction on a multi-use path on the north side of Naranja Drive between La Cañada Drive and First Avenue.
The new multi-use path will enhance safety, mobility and regional connectivity by adding a 10-foot-wide paved path for walking, jogging and biking along the north side of Naranja Drive, from La Cañada Drive to First Avenue. The 1.75-mile route will connect nearby neighborhoods to Naranja Park, local schools, employment centers and other community destinations.
Study Elements
The study developed and evaluated design concepts for path alignment alternatives and identified the preferred alignment as part of the Project Assessment. Elements included:
- Addressing and incorporating user needs.
- Extending drainage culverts and locating the path above culverts or cross drainage ways at grade.
- Determining where retaining walls will be needed due to areas with steep slopes adjacent to the road.
- Looking for opportunities to move the existing guardrail to the edge of pavement to shorten the length of culvert extensions.
- Identifying which side streets and driveways will need to be reconstructed to meet cross slope and ADA requirements.
