28. 17-202 ORDINANCE NO. 017-20
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE,
MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF 55TH
AVENUE AND SOUTH OF CACTUS ROAD NECESSARY FOR RIGHT
OF WAY IMPROVEMENTS IN GLENDALE, ARIZONA; AND DIRECTING
THE EXECUTION OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND ANY
DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASE.
Staff Contact: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works
Ms. McCracken read Ordinance No. 017-20.
Mr. Friedline said the proposed ordinance would acquire property for right-of-way
improvements along 55th Avenue, south of Cactus Road. He said widening 55th Avenue
for bike lanes was a project in the FY17 capital improvement plan and the existing street
section also had an open irrigation ditch with no street lighting.
Mr. Friedline said the City entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona
Department of Transportation in June 2014, to design and construct improvements for the
projects. In June 2016, the agreement was amended to include right-of-way acquisition
costs. Staff recommended acquiring the additional right-of-way along 55th Avenue, south
of Cactus Road. There would be little impact on service levels as a result of the action
and payments would be made by ADOT.
