Hands-free driving ordinance now in effect On January 6, 2017, a new ordinance which bans the use of hand-held electronic devices while driving took effect. It only takes a moment’s distraction to bring tragedy to a family. By becoming a “hands-free” town, Oro Valley is asking drivers to keep our families and community safe. The Oro Valley Police Department will be focusing on public education for the first few months to make sure everyone knows and understands the law.
ORO VALLEY MAYOR & COUNCIL Dr. Satish I. Hiremath, Mayor
A person who violates the ordinance and is not involved in a motor vehicle collision is subject to a civil penalty of $50 for the first violation, $100 for the second, and $200 for the third.

On January 19, 2017, Town of Oro Valley Mayor Satish I. Hiremath, D.D.S., was presented with the 2017 National Award for Local Arts Leadership for cities with a population under 100,000, by the Americans for the Arts and the United States Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. “Every year, The U.S. Conference of Mayors recognizes the exemplary efforts of mayors who believe as much as we do that the arts are the heart of our society,” said Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director of The U.S. Conference of Mayors. Hiremath is one of only two mayors nationwide to receive this award. He was nominated by Kate Marquez, executive director for the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance. Boston Mayor Martin Walsh received the award for cities with a population greater than 100,000.
On March 13, 2017, Lambert Lane will be closed from La Cañada Drive to La Cholla Boulevard for construction activities as part of the Lambert Lane Phase 11 project. The improvements, which are scheduled for completion June 5, will lower the road profile between Hacienda Hermosa Drive and La Cañada Drive to correct the substandard sight distance. The sloped hills within this area will be steepened and lowered to widen the road to accommodate additional travel lanes, multimodal enhancements, curbs and landscaping. Local residents impacted by this road closure will have alternate routes. Stay up-to-date on this project by visiting: www.orovalleyaz.gov/town/projects.
