We are creating a Micromobility and Parking Plan to evaluate and enhance transportation options as the Downtown Mesa area grows. The plan will focus on existing and long-term parking needs for downtown as well as how to create a more walkable, sustainable, and multimodal transportation network while exploring options for improved connectivity between surrounding neighborhoods and downtown businesses.

Enhancing pedestrian facilities will serve huge dividends because 1. it will help people feel more willing to park further away from destinations and walk a little longer to get places and feel comfortable and safe doing so, 2. it will help people who are using transit have a better time (because they are at some point a pedestrian) and would incentivize others to use transit because it is easier and more comfortable to use it, and 3. help bridge the gaps of downtown (like how the convention center and the Mesa temple feel somewhat isolated from the rest of downtown) to make it one cohesive whole.
If you are a resident on West Pepper Place opposite of The "Residence on Main" Project It is just another case of promises made and promises broken. We were told
Construction parking was gong to be restricted to the south side of Pepper Place and that the north side of Pepper Place would be for residents along with Meadow. I was even sent pictures of Arial views where the construction workers would park on Main Street where parking was made available and red lines on the map where there would be no construction parking, That lasted for what seemed like a week. Our streets were packed with cars, Trucks Construction equipment etc. They even put up no construction parking signs, the signs were moved and cars parked where the signs were everyday. In the end they "couldn't" enforce what they said they would do. My comment to you City of Mesa is why don't you take a little interest in fixing the parking problems you were complicit in creating instead of ignoring them before you start a new ambitious project. It is such a simple thing but we are not big developers
we are just a nuisance. Some of us just want to live life and be able to park our cars somewhere close to our homes. Although I would like to see those of us on W. Pepper Place get help to our parking situations that continue to this day, I do believe that improvements to Downtown would be a good thing.
Both my husband and I ride on our mobility scooters all around Mesa. There are two locations that need to be fixed immediately.
1. The sidewalk mess at Main and Hibbert at the newly built building. Please we are begging someone to complete this project and fix the sidewalk situation.
2. The intersection at Mesa Drive and University on the west side...the tar is severely raised on both sides and we almost flip over everytime we cross the street. Thank you.
