ADOT SR179 construction update for the week of November 12th

Sedona, AZ -- This week crews in the Village will focus on building the roundabouts at Jack's Canyon and Ridge Trail, as those will be the first two roundabouts to become functional in the Village. The Cortez and Bell Rock Boulevard roundabouts will follow. To accomplish this work quickly, crews will need to close the associated side roads one at a time and detour traffic. Each side road closure should last one to two weeks, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Business access will remain open, two-way traffic on SR 179 is being maintained, and detour routes will be clearly marked.

Business and resident forums scheduled for December 5 and 11

In cooperation with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the City of Sedona and Sedona Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring two business forums and two resident forums to share information about Phase Two of the Highway 179 Improvement Project. The intent is to ensure that local residents and business people are aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead during construction of the new roadway and related improvements.

The meeting will include an overview of the project components and design, communications efforts regarding the project, and business promotions and signage concepts for the construction corridor. The City, the Chamber of Commerce and ADOT are continuing to work together to reach out to the community and keep everyone informed about the future of the Highway 179 corridor.

Time will be made available for the public to interact with representatives from the City, Chamber of Commerce and Arizona Department of Transportation.

Meetings will be held at the Church of the Red Rocks, located at 54 Bowstring Drive. Dates and times are as follows:

Business Forums
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

Resident Forums
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Anyone from the public is welcome at either the business or resident forums and the same formal presentations will be made at all four forums. However, public input at the different forums may be more geared to residents or business owners depending on which forum is attended.
