Mesa Enhances Safety and Connectivity with Hampton Avenue Upgrades

Mesa Enhances Safety and Connectivity with Hampton Avenue Upgrades

The City of Mesa will begin safety and roadway improvements along Hampton Avenue between Crismon Road and Signal Butte Road onOct. 13. Work is expected to be completed by late November.

The project is designed to make Hampton Avenue safer and more accessible for everyone - whether you're driving, biking or walking. Planned improvements include:

• .5in;">A new pedestrian crossing with a raised median to make it safer and easier to cross the street.
• .5in;">Bike lane striping and signage to enhance connectivity for cyclists.
• .5in;">Pavement resurfacing and durable epoxy markings to extend roadway life and improve visibility.

What to Expect

Construction will occur in phases, beginning with pavement resurfacing, followed by lane striping and finishing with the installation of the pedestrian crossing and a raised median. Temporary lane closures will occur along sections of Hampton Avenue, but detours will be clearly marked, and access to neighborhoods and businesses will remain open throughout the project.

A Safer Street for Our Community

This corridor was prioritized due to pavement maintenance needs and its location near schools, neighborhoods and community hubs. The upgrades align with Mesa's Safer Streets initiative, which focuses on projects that protect pedestrians, support active transportation and improve traffic flow citywide.
