Lincoln Drive may gain a two lane extension from 76th Street to Hayden Road to ease West Scottsdale traffic. Raymond Williamson says planning should begin now, with a formal proposal to place the project on the city right of way standards map and major street plan as a minor arterial. The extension would link to Hayden and create an east west corridor between Camelback and Indian Bend. The town already plans widening Lincoln to four lanes between 71st and Tatum Boulevard. Williamson emphasizes no immediate construction timeline.
