As you’re out shopping on Small Business Saturday, come celebrate the opening of the downtown core connectors, paving the way to new development in downtown Queen Creek. The community event will take place Saturday, Nov. 30 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., with the roadways opening to motorists after the event.
Experience what’s to come with several of the businesses that recently opened and are coming soon. Additional information regarding development in the downtown will be available at the event.
The roadways were designed and built with the vision of creating a vibrant and walkable district in the heart of the Town Center. One of the key attributes to developing a walkable downtown is to create urban blocks that make for shorter walks from one place to another with areas of interest along the way.
The Town invested in this critical infrastructure through the construction of three downtown core connectors – Aldecoa Drive, Munoz Street and Summers Place. In addition to providing connectivity between Ellsworth Loop and Ellsworth Road, the new roadways include traffic calming mechanisms, off-street bicycle paths and public angled parking, along with amenities adjacent to the roadways like shade structures and seating. Construction also included water, sewer, storm water and drainage improvements.
