Summary
City Manager told the council the State Route 92 shared-use path project has been delayed after ADOT initiated a new environmental review/permit process; the city said it expects the review will hold up the project temporarily.
City Manager told the Sierra Vista City Council on Aug. 14 that the planned shared-use path along State Route 92 from Ebony to Cochise to Foothills Drive has been delayed after the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) initiated a new environmental review and permitting process.
"ADOT has initiated a new environmental review permit process," the City Manager said, noting the review will hold up the project for a little while. He said staff had hoped to report the project was already underway but must now wait for the state process to proceed.
The city manager placed the delay in the context of other projects, noting the Montebello fire hydrant improvement project funded by the Community Development Block Grant is complete. No schedule for when ADOT's review will finish was provided during the council meeting.
Council members did not take formal action on the SR‑92 path at the meeting. The project remains under the jurisdiction of ADOT for environmental permitting and the city will await further notice from the state agency before scheduling work.
No funding changes or contractor awards related to the SR‑92 project were announced at the meeting.
