The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Yuma County is conducting a Transportation Needs Study for the Foothills and Mesa Del Sol Areas for Yuma County.

The study will encompass a mixed use of zoning areas developed and undeveloped within the Mesa Del Sol and Foothills areas, with a population of 40,000 increasing to 80,000 from the influx of winter visitors between the months of October and April, that impacts existing road networks, internal area junctions, as well as ADOT I-8 interchanges at Fortuna Road and Foothills Boulevard. The study will identify roadway and potential multimodal improvements coupled with flood control requirements to meet the growing population and changing land uses to improve mobility and safety and to encourage sensible and sustainable development that supports the current and projected uses in the General Plan.
