From now through May 20th, the(Pinal County) Draft 2022 Five-Year Transportation Improvement and Maintenance Program (TIMP) for Budget Years 2021-2022 through 2025-2026 is available for public review and comment by visiting: bit.ly/TIMPcomments.
Updated annually, the transportation program identifies potential funding and establishes a tentative schedule for countywide planning, construction and maintenance projects. After the public comment period, the program will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for final approval in June.
By unanimous vote, the Transportation Advisory Committee approved the draft program in February. The committee is a 10-member panel that is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to annually review, update and recommend the program of transportation projects. The committee’s recommendation is a culmination of a six-month planning cycle that included three public meetings and the evaluation of 50 transportation project requests.
The committee recommended 24 new transportation projects for Budget Year 2025-2026 that addressed the program goals of improving safety, increasing paved mileage, and minimizing dust within the county’s transportation system.
Transportation Advisory Committee meetings for the next planning cycle are scheduled as follows:
- Tuesday, September 20, 2022
- Tuesday, November 29, 2022
- Tuesday, February 21, 2023
The meetings begin at 2:30 PM and are held at the Pinal County Administrative Complex in Florence. (Source)
