Plans for center median installation along Scottsdale Road
Arizona Highway Department engineer Homer Richards says plans seek state and federal funding for a $220000 project to place medians on Scottsdale Road between Indian School and Osborn. Federal funding could cover 76 percent if approved, but public support is low and city council has given tentative approval. If not approved the city would bear full cost. Two median openings at First Avenue and First Street are planned, though opposed by state planners.
