The Queen Creek Town Council unanimously approved the Queen Creek Transportation Master Plan during the Dec. 7 council meeting. The Transportation Master Plan will serve as a comprehensive document that will help guide multi-modal transportation within the town of Queen Creek, and the town’s municipal planning area.
“Transportation is a key element of a community,” stated Queen Creek Mayor Gail Barney. “As a town, we need to be aware of our current transportation needs and plan for future needs. The ability to move through Queen Creek impacts everyone, which is why this plan is so important to our continued success.”
The Transportation Master Plan relates to three of the five strategic priorities outlined in the town’s 2016-21 Corporate Strategic Plan: superior infrastructure, secure future and effective government. Not only does it serve as a long-range blueprint for vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle and transit travel within the town of Queen Creek, it also focuses on regional transportation, coordinating connectivity with neighboring jurisdictions.
