This study explores the feasability and concept streetscape re-design of Country Club Way from East Cairo Drive to East Meadow Drive, located in Tempe, AZ. The project will seek to achieve the long-term goals for the neighborhood, which include: walkability, increased beautification, and reduction of urban heat through the addition of Low Impact Development (LID) that include plants and trees, and improved safety of specific neighborhood issues.

Significant neighborhood concerns included traffic speeds, school-related traffic, congestion, and multi-modal user safety concerns. The design was based on neighborhood input, the data collected, and project goals. 

The design seeks to achieve traffic calming, accomodating differing modes and user groups, achieving site visibility, enhancing public spaces, mitigating heat, mitigating nonpoint source pollution, and enhancing the urban ecology. This study involved participation and coordination with the residents of the project area to obtain resident approval from impacted homes, where three neighborhood meetings with accompanying stakeholder opinion surveys were conducted to obtain information prior to and during the design. This study was led by an amazing group of neighborhood representatives from the Santo Tomas and Alameda Meadows Neighborhood Associations with support from City of Tempe staff and consultant services from WERK | urban design and Y2K Engineering.
