SR 347 Project Information

John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) Improvements — Smith-Enke Road (SR 238) to Maricopa city limits

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), in cooperation with the city of Maricopa, is planning a project to widen northbound John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) for approximately 1.3 miles from Smith-Enke Road (SR 238) to just north of the city limits. This project will help relieve traffic congestion and improve travel times by widening northbound SR 347 and improving the Lakeview Drive intersection.

Key elements of the project include:

• Adding a third northbound through lane on John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) between SR 238 to just north of the city limits.
• Adding curb, gutter and sidewalk along the east side of SR 347 from north of SR 238 to Lakeview Drive.
• Adding a northbound acceleration lane for traffic moving westbound to northbound at the SR 347/Lakeview Drive intersection.
• Reconstructing the existing Lakeview Drive paved median and widening the intersection.
• Repairing pavement within the project limits.

This project is a partnership between ADOT and the city of Maricopa, with each contributing roughly half of the construction funding. Once completed, this segment of John Wayne Parkway will be turned over to the city for long-term operations and maintenance.

Project Schedule

Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2023 and is expected to be complete in summer 2024.

Schedule subject to change based on weather or other unforeseen factors.

InMaricopa: New Maricopa-Sky Harbor shuttle takes headache out of summer holiday

NOTE: This article was written by Monica Spencer, InMaricopa reporter and published on July 1st, 2024, in InMaricopa.

When preparing for a summer getaway to escape the heat, it’s only natural to focus on airfare, hotels and attractions — not getting to and from the airport. But if you live in Maricopa, that’s a piece of your holiday puzzle that requires some serious planning.

It can be a headache.

That’s precisely why husband-wife duo Kevin and Lori Riley are kickstarting Maricopa’s only airport shuttle service, Ride347, this summer.

“We want to make sure you don’t have to think about how you’re going to get to the airport,” Kevin said.

Ride347 will make its maiden voyage to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Independence Day. Kevin has noticed it’s a much-needed service.

“This town has been needing a dedicated bus route to the airport for the longest time and we’ve been waiting for someone else to do it,” he said. “No one has, so we took the initiative to go ahead and start it.”

Of course, Ride347 will also pick you up from the airport and take you home.

A needed service
Current options for an airport chauffeur are slim.

“There’s just not a good way of getting there unless you get a taxi, Uber or catch a ride from a family member,” Kevin said.

Rideshare bookings from Uber or Lyft can range from $35 to $150 depending on traffic — and when State Route 347 is the only path to the airport, you can never rule out a jam. A taxi would cost a rider at least $80, especially when considering the 30-plus-mile one-way trip.

For those who want to drive themselves, there’s the added struggle of fighting traffic and shelling out daily parking fees before even making it to the check-in kiosks.

To fill the gap, Ride347 will transport travelers along a fixed route for a flat $38 rate multiple times per day, with rides starting at 5 a.m.

Cozy riding
While the flat rate and dependable schedule are a welcome relief for riders, a relaxing ride is the icing on the cake. Or perhaps just an icy option on hot summer days, according to Kevin.

“It’s a very comfortable ride,” he said. “It has two A/C units, so it gets nice and cold in there. You could hang meat in there.”

The two buses hold 12 to 14 passengers in cushy seats, plus they have an ADA option for wheelchairs and scooters. Kevin said he plans to eventually add a TV and WiFi to the buses as amenities.

“We just want to be a reliable, dependent and safe route to the airport on a set schedule,” he said. “We’ll always be there seven days a week.”

211 Arizona is proud to offer a variety of free transportation options to the community through our 211 Transportation Hotline. Our current funding provides free rides for heat relief and for caregivers. Unfortunately, other SDOH (social determinants of health) rides are not funded presently, meaning 211 Arizona cannot provide residents free transportation for food, medicine, and other necessities. We are actively seeking funding sources for these vital transportation needs in our community and respectfully request the help of organizations which may be able to assist.

After determining the option that best suits your needs, please call the 211 Transportation Hotline at 1-855-345-6432, or dial 211 and select option 4 for transportation, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, to schedule your ride!

West Pinal County - City of Maricopa: Area Transportation Plan

Transportation Plan - Technical Memorandum #1

Tonight the Study/Planning team had an open house at Library and Cultural Center to hear about The Transportation Plan's Technical Memorandum #1.

This part of the study provides documentation on the recent survey conducted over a three-week period that received 431 responses from area residents. The survey collected respondent's thoughts on items that impede travel within the study area. Troublesome roads and intersections were also identified. The study team also identified levels of service on these roads from actual 2021 records. Levels of service is a metric used by transportation professionals to qualitatively describe the operating conditions of a roadway. They also performed a crash analysis on the same data developing a view of the dangerous intersections and road segments of the current roads. They documented the existence of bike lanes, multi-use paths and bus transportation in both the City and County segments of the study area. As the study moves forward the data collected will be used in modeling exercises to develop future projects based on different levels of forecast growth.

Western Pinal County, which includes the City of Maricopa, has been a past, current, and future focus of growth and urbanization. As a result, Pinal County and the City of Maricopa have recently initiated a collaborative effort to study the area and create a plan that updates the City’s current Area Transportation Plan (2015) to ensure the current and proposed transportation systems are aligned with the existing needs and anticipated growth and development – this effort is formally known as the West Pinal County - City of Maricopa Area Transportation Plan (WPMATP).

OBJECTIVES:
The primary objectives are to define the current circulation system, evaluate its performance, forecast future needs, and prepare a plan for fulfilling the identified multimodal transportation needs.
