DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2015, the Board approved the Department of Transportation (Transportation) to begin the right-of-way phase for the Green Valley Road at Indian Creek - Bridge Replacement and the Green Valley Road at Mound Springs Creek - Bridge Replacement (Projects). The Projects involve the replacement of two (2) bridges (approximately 1,000 feet apart at Indian Creek and Mound Springs Creek) and construction of a continuous two-way left turn lane down the center of Green Valley Road between Stagecoach Road and Mortara Circle. These safety improvement Projects encompass approximately ½ mile of Green Valley Road. The two-way left turn lane will provide a traffic safety improvement based on the accident history of this area.
The Projects required several property acquisitions to complete these improvements, including necessary easements from Greenstone Country Owners Association (Greenstone) Assessor’s Parcel Number 317-285-019 as part of the Indian Creek Bridge replacement. Greenstone is highly supportive of the Projects, and in April 2025, Transportation received Irrevocable Offers of Dedication (IODs) from Greenstone for slope and drainage easements, public utilities easements, and temporary construction easements in relation to the Projects.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to accept the IOD; however, Transportation would be unable to complete the Projects as designed.
