Sedona AZ (May 31, 2016) – Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, June 1, 2016, construction will begin installation of a new sidewalk and curb on the east side of Jordan Road, north of the Mesquite Avenue intersection and the northeast corner intersection of Jordan Road and Schnebly Road. The work is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2016.

The new sidewalk construction will connect to existing portions of sidewalk, making a continuous ADA-accessible pedestrian route from the city-owned Municipal Parking Lot to the business district in uptown Sedona.

“This project helps Sedona to be a more walkable community, and also promotes easier use of the Municipal Parking Lot because of the improved access. We are excited to work with the contractor to make our community a safer and more enjoyable place,” said Stephen Craver, Engineering Supervisor for the city.

The existing sidewalk on the east side of Jordan Road will be closed during the project with periodic disruptions to driveways. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds throughout the work area, maintain a safe distance from construction vehicles, and obey all traffic control devices.
