Spring 2007, Estrella Mountain Community College began site improvement construction at the Dysart and Sage North East campus entrance. The traffic light installation is one piece of a larger project that will create a safer traffic environment at the intersection. Other modifications planned will include an extra turn lane, moving the electrical power lines underground, sidewalks and landscaping designed to handle increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow due to growth in the West Valley.
Please note that through late April 2007, the entry/exit at Dysart and Sage will have traffic restrictions due to the installation of the traffic control equipment, burial of lines, etc. We DO NOT anticipate a complete closure, but it might cause some inconvenience. The end result will be well worth the minor construction delays.
