City OKs $1M for East-West Corridor right of way
by Jay Taylor | inMaricopa
The Maricopa City Council has approved funding to acquire a right of way along Farrell Road for the long-awaited East-West transportation corridor.
The proposed parkway will eventually connect State Route 347 and Interstate 10, north of Casa Grande, potentially alleviating traffic congestion on SR347 between Maricopa and I-10 in Chandler as a second route to the Valley. It is proposed as a four-lane thoroughfare, with potential expansion to six lanes if warranted in the future.
The 26.5-acre right of way lies just south of Farrell between SR347 and Porter. It was purchased from Property Reserve Arizona, LLC (PRA), which is held by Fulton Homes, for $1.06 million.
