PHOENIX – A short section of Pinnacle Peak Road east of the Interstate 17 interchange in north Phoenix will be closed for just over three weeks starting on February 19, while crews remove and replace a concrete drainage culvert. The road is scheduled to reopen March 14.

The work is part of the Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT) ongoing project to reconstruct the I-17 interchanges at both Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley roads.

Drivers who normally would use Pinnacle Peak Road in either direction just east of the I-17 interchange should plan on using alternate routes, including Deer Valley Road or Happy Valley Road.

All of the I-17 on- and offramps at Pinnacle Peak Road will remain open to traffic, as will the northbound I-17 frontage road in the area.

Northbound I-17 drivers exiting at Pinnacle Peak Road will be limited to either left turns to travel westbound or continuing north onto I-17 or along the frontage road to Happy Valley Road.

Drivers using the eastbound Pinnacle Peak Road bridge over I-17 will be required to make left turns to travel northbound, either onto northbound I-17 or

NEW RIVER – A little over five-years-ago Emilee Spear, the founder of Rusty’s Angels dog sanctuary in New River, was working contently as veterinarian technician with a dream and a hand-written list of goals of how to achieve it.

With gumption as big as her heart, Spear has made that hand-written list a reality and is celebrating the fifth anniversary of Rusty’s Angels Senior Dog Rescue and Sanctuary on February 20.

To date the non-profit organization has rescued 164 vulnerable, senior dogs, rehoming 90 of those rescued

dogs to loving, nurturing, furever homes. For the dogs that can’t be adopted, they will live out their twilight years getting spoiled by the dedicated team at the sanctuary that Spear calls “Heaven on Earth.”

“I just feel so lucky and blessed to wake up everyday and do what I love,” Spear said in a phone interview with The Foothills Focus last week. “I am just thankful for the people that are behind us. It is just amazing, and we would not be where we are today without them.”

Arizona lawmakers agree on crucial drought contingency plan

The Central Arizona Project canal system spans 336 miles and brings water from the Colorado River as far south as Tucson.

BY LAUREN SCHIELER CRONKITE NEWS

ELOY – Arizona lawmakers beat a midnight deadline set by the federal government by just a few hours Thursday, agreeing on a plan to balance drought and water supplies in the Colorado River Basin.

The goal is to keep water levels in Lake Mead from plummeting so low there wouldn’t be enough water for the millions of people throughout the Southwest who depend on it. For Arizona, that could mean losing about a seventh of th state’s annual water allotment to the Central Arizona Project, which provides much of the state’s water.

Although Arizona has signed off on the drought contingency plan, California’s Imperial Irrigation District may delay the basin-wide deal. According to the Desert Sun, the district wants $200 million to restore the Salton Sea. Water managers expect Mead’s levels to drop low enough that by May of this year, there would be a shortage declaration and reduced water allocations. The plan Arizona approved will mitigate those cuts.

Arizona was the last of the three Lower Basin states to approve a Drought Contingency Plan, and it’s the only state that required legislative action to put the plan in place. If Arizona had missed the midnight deadline, the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which manages water and power in the West, said it would impose its own drought plan on the entire Colorado River Basin.

The plan is a stop gap approach to manage water shortages and will be in place until 2026. Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, which make up the Upper Basin, signed their drought contingency plan in December.

“Lake Mead is essentially overallocated,” said Sarah Porter, who directs the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University.

“There is more water going out of Lake Mead than coming in.”

What the drought plan would do According to Porter, part of the plan sets a schedule of voluntary cuts that users agree to take to keep lake levels sustainable. The plan also designates rules on when users can take water out of the reservoir.

The plan, which had bipartisan support, aims to keep lake levels high enough to try and avoid a catastrophic shortage in Arizona.

“Arizona has a really hard task because we would take the largest cuts of any of the users, and we need to have our legislature approve singing on to DCP,” Porter said.

What’s behind the plan?

The 19-year drought has forced Southwestern states to orchestrate a plan for more sustainable water usage from the Colorado River.

If the lake levels dip too low, Arizona consumers could also see higher water rates.

This isn’t the first time Arizona has experienced hard policy reform to ensure there’s a water supply.

Brian Rhodes farms 15,000 acres of land near Eloy. A and B Farms grows alfalfa along with cotton, corn and grains. He worries that cuts to water allocations will drastically change agriculture in central Arizona.

The lower basin agreed to a plan similar to the DCP in 2007, though the cuts weren’t nearly as dramatic as those Arizona faces now.

“We’re looking at significant decreases in Colorado River deliveries,” Porter said.

The Bureau of Reclamation will declare an official shortage and water cutoffs if Lake Mead’s water level drops below 1,075 feet above sea level.

That hasn’t happened yet, but water managers predict it could occur as early as May. At 1,050 feet, stricter cutoffs would be imposed.

Who will feel the most pain?

Arizona has sealed a bittersweet arrangement that addresses how water users would share the pain of a water shortage, Porter said.

Pinal County farmers will be among the first users to take a cut if there’s a drought declaration.

“Long term, those Pinal County farmers are looking at needing to have other supplies of water,” Porter said.

“The DCP has included provision for those farmers to be able to develop or redevelop infrastructure to pump groundwater out and they can use groundwater for their operations.”

Brian Rhodes, who farms 15,000 acres of land near Eloy, believes that will be devastating for the agriculture industry.

“Without some type of mitigation proposal, the alternative is Pinal County farmland no longer becomes viable for a large percentage,” Rhodes said.

“That is detrimental for not only the farmers like myself, but you’ve got so many industries that are being supported by the farming operation.”

Pinal County ranks in the top 2 percent nationwide in the total value of agricultural sales, according to a study from the University of Arizona’s Agriculture and Resource Economy.

Rhodes says regardless of the Legislature’s decision Thursday, agriculture still will be forced to increase sustainability efforts.

“Even under the mitigation and other proposals that are on the table, we’re still looking at a lot less available water going forward,” Rhodes said. “The drought is something that’s out of anyone’s control.

We’re going to all have to adjust to a new frontier as far as water availability and from what we’ve been used to.”

The plan provides farmers with more water than they would receive if lawmakers can’t come to a decision, said Dave Roberts, chief water resources executive for Salt River Project.

“I wouldn’t say they’re in good shape, but they’ll be better off than they would have been,” he said.

I ate chocolate. No guilt. It was Valentine’s Day and a small box of truffles landed in my lap. What was I to do? Well I suppose I didn’t have to eat all six of them, but I did space out my treats over several days.

My husband, Doug, is a true romantic!

Sadly, chocolate has been getting a bad rap lately.

Unhealthy! Fattening! Too much sugar!

Blah, blah. What are we supposed to enjoy on a special occasion? Kale?

Chocolate is still the heavenly wonder made by the angels above that was created so that humans can experience pure joy.

Last week, to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Americans bought a whopping 58 million pounds of chocolate.

Plus, there were 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate purchased. Did you get one?

That’s a whole lot of candy and most of it is already eaten.

Love is like a heart . . . . shaped candy box.

To dispel those wild stories about chocolate being unhealthy, we should look to the people of the Netherlands. Did you know that Dutch folks of all ages love to sprinkle chocolate on bread or toast for breakfast?

Yes, it is true. And a brilliant idea. Have you had your hagelslag this morning?

Yikes, every single day 750,000 pieces of bread with chocolate are eaten by the Dutch. Start the day out right with white bread smothered with butter and then sprinkled with chocolate.

Yum, so much better than fruit and yogurt.

School kids are especially fond of this tradition, and by the way, these kids have the lowest obesity rates of children in all the industrialized countries.

I do recall loving peanut butter and jelly on toast when I was a kid. Then I became hip and tried toast and avocado, which is a favorite of millennials.

But I may move to better things, like cocoa and toast. In any event, perhaps we need to re-think our diets and include more confection.

My father used to claim that chocolate is healthy because it

contains Lecithin, an ingredient that lowers cholesterol. Which might explain why he ate a Hershey’s kiss every day of his adult life.

Replace chocolate for cholesterol medication?

Hmmm, I might have to consult my physician about this. Or not.

Perhaps I will just experiment.

Dear Readers, I will report back to you.

The whole world seems pretty much in agreement about one thing: We love our chocolate. It is the single, greatest traditional gift to give and receive on Valentine’s Day. That tops the list, followed by roses (red), champagne and jewelry (diamonds).

Since a diamond necklace might break the bank, it is no surprise that chocolate is the perfect gift.

My girlfriend says that chocolate is an evil temptation made by demons to make us fat. My neighbor says it causes cellulite. My dentist says chocolate creates cavities. My doctor says sugar is “no good.”

I am not listening! And to prove it, I am making my own version of hagelslag right now.

Yum, breakfast improved.

New River man arrested for child sex crimes on Valentine's Day

BY TARA ALATORRE

NEW RIVER – A man was arrested at his New River home on the afternoon of February 14, by Tempe Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Detectives for allegedly attempting to pay a 14-year-old girl $500 for a sexual encounter.

Kenneth Nelson, age 41, was arrested last Thursday after a joint investigation with the Tempe Police Department (TPD) and special agents from the Arizona Attorney General revealed that he planned on paying cash for one hour of sex with the girl, according TPD. Nelson also allegedly sought

out additional sexual encounters with children as young as an infant to 10-years-old, offering to pay additional money to engage in sexual activities with the children, the collaborative investigation revealed.

Tempe Police say that Nelson is also a registered sex offender.

Currently, Nelson is facing charges of attempted child sex trafficking, luring a minor for sexual exploitation and attempted sexual conduct with a minor, according Lily Duran, a detective and a spokesperson for TPD. Currently, the investigation is ongoing, and he may face additional charges.

CAVE CREEK – Arizona law enforcement officer and resident of the Desert Foothills community, Bryan Wisda, released his first music album “ADHD Lullaby™” on February 15.

Using neuroscience, the patentpending music methodology specifically helps ADHD children fall asleep.

Available for purchase and streaming on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon, including the single “Cale’s Lullaby,” which had more than 1,000 listeners in its first week on Spotify.

The complete 15-track album is priced at $10 for digital copies and $17 for compact disc; it is available for purchase and download worldwide and at

Discover rich musical history at MIM’s galleries during Black History Month PHOENIX – African American artists have influenced the American musical landscape in many ways and helped shape a multitude of genres, including blues, jazz, gospel, rock and roll, funk and hip hop.

Guests can explore this rich history throughout Musical Instrument Museum’s (MIM) galleries at displays such as “African Arrivals,” “Jazz, Memphis,” and more.

Objects such as gourd-bodied “banjars” that help illustrate the African roots of the American banjo, which is a beautiful keyed bugle like the one played

by Francis Johnson; the first African American professional bandleader and composer.

Guests can check out an electric Hammond organ from the collection of the Stax studio where Booker T. Jones recorded his influential Southern soul music.

These are just a few of many historic instruments on display that show African American musicians’ contributions to music from the earliest years of American settlement through today.

Recently, the CW Network’s show “Positively Arizona” visited MIM to share some of these stories from our collection in honor of Black History Month.

Wisda, a Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Office (MCSO) Deputy who was shot while on duty in 2016, learned to play guitar during his recovery.

“During my recovery, my wife forced me to do something other than play video games – this got to me to take up the guitar. I had no idea learning the guitar would have such a positive impact on my son’s life and for our family,” Wisda said.

While practicing, Wisda discovered playing nonrhythmic music served as a calming lullaby for his ten-yearold ADHD son to help him get to sleep at night.

“He used to struggle significantly to get to sleep at night,” he said.

Over the past year, Wisda researched neuroscience, music therapy, binaural beats and other sound soothing techniques to incorporate into songs for his son’s nighttime routine.

The visible benefits inspired Wisda to seek a patent for his music, create his own label Zezz Music Limited, and produce a full album of lullabies.

Business Spotlight: Quick Quack Car Wash

PHOENIX – Quick Quack Car Wash offers topquality exterior washes and shines, operating four express car washes with six more locations under construction that are scheduled to open in 2019 located across the Phoenix Valley.

Quick Quack Car Wash offers a Basic Wash & Dry that customers can upgrade with triple foam, undercarriage wash, tire shine and rain repellent.

For even more luxurious upgrades for customers onthe-go, the company offers Carnauba Wax and the Lucky Duck, which is a three-step paint sealant “for a shine you can feel.”

Quick Quack Car Wash was created by five friends in 2004, developing a business plan that originally started as a project for business school and eventually grew into six original locations based in Sacramento, Calif.

The California locations were started under a different name, Splash & Dash Car Wash, but in 2008 the owners were looking to expand into different markets.

Owners, Jason Johnson, Tim Wright, Chris Vaterlaus,

Greg Drennan and Travis Kimball worked through several challenges in the beginning, but ultimately, they were able to acquire Quick Quack Car Wash based in Amarillo, Texas.

Eventually they rebranded all the Sacramento locations under the Quick Quack Car Wash name and “haven’t looked back since.”

“After managing through the recession and developing strategic partnerships, Quick

Quack Car Wash now operates more than 70 locations in five states: California, Texas, Utah, Arizona and Colorado,” Travis Kimball stated.

Quick Quack Car Wash’s “top-wash package” is its bestselling because it provides the best overall quality wash, shine and protection for vehicles, and it comes with an entertaining light and colored soap experience that appeals to all ages.

There are also unlimited

car wash memberships that allow customers to pay one low, monthly fee for unlimited car washes each month. The membership is only the cost of two to three normal priced car washes.

“We honestly feel like it is our team of people that makes us unique,” Kimball stated.

“We surely pride ourselves on creating a fun, fast and effective car cleaning experience for our customers.”

The business also believes in taking pride in their communities and holds “Preview Fundraisers” with every grand opening. During the event Quick Quack Car Wash selects members of the community to hold a fundraiser for, while giving free preview car washes to their supporters.

The car wash then matches the donations from the fundraiser and presents the total amount in a check presentation at its ribbon cutting.

“Our mission is to change lives for the better,” he said. “We are doing more than building and running car washes, we are training leaders and impacting communities.”

movie review HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U Director: Christopher Landon Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Phi Vu, Suraj Shurma, Sarah Yarkin, Rachel Matthews, and Ruby Modine Monte’s Rating 3.25 out of 5.00

BY MONTE YAZZIE FILM CRITIC

Take a moment and think of every great movie sequel you have ever seen.

Now that you are done listing all the subpar sequels, how many are left on the list that are excellent?

The craft of constructing a sequel is a difficult undertaking, especially if the first film is something special.

“Happy Death Day” was a surprise upon its release in 2017; a film that took the concept of the 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day” and turned it into a clever and unique horror film that delivered some fun surprises.

The turnaround for the sequel happened rather quickly, which is always a little concerning, but “Happy Death Day 2U” takes a route less travelled for

movie sequels by twisting the narrative, including the genre, into something completely different.

Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) lived the same day over and over, dying at the hands of a masked killer every day until she was able to solve her own murder.

With the help of her boyfriend Carter (Israel Broussard), Tree thought she had escaped the time loop and could move on with her life.

But things take a drastic reversal as a science experiment, conducted by Carter’s roommate Ryan (Phi Vu), creates another time jump that brings Tree back face-to-face with her babyfaced masked killer.

But something has changed, things are different this time.

Christopher Landon directed “Happy

Death Day” with a clear understanding of tone for a horror film that offered a few frights, a creepy looking slasher, a charming hero and some lighthearted humor.

It felt like a PG-13 horror film from the 90s mixed with the science-fiction appeal of the 80s. So, it’s not surprising that Mr. Landon brings the successful qualities back in different doses and combinations, while making one interesting and tricky turn in the structure.

The narrative, which leaned strongly in the horror genre with only a sprinkling of sci-fi for the first film, flips into a straight forward science-fiction film with a spattering of horror here and there.

It’s a bold move that is somehow surprisingly pulled off.

WE NOW DELIVER! CALL TODAY FOR DETAILS

Utilizing a science fiction storytelling theme that feels reminiscent of “The Outer Limits,” “Happy Death Day 2U” refreshingly twists and morphs into a different film.

While it still struggles with some shoddy dialog and unusual side character performances – like a wacky college professor who bumbles into the excitement at the worst time – the film still merges its quality elements in an enjoyable way.

A big part of why this film works so well is the exceptional screen appeal of Jessica Rothe who holds the film together with her tenacity and charisma.

Ms. Rothe’s performance is convincing and entertaining throughout; whether she is wielding an axe or waking up with her hair frizzed from electricity, the actor entirely owns it.

“Happy Death Day 2U” works really well up to a point that it becomes slightly unhinged with its time looping dilemma and wanting to push for expanding its universe beyond the primary character’s life. But it doesn’t derail the fun that this movie is clearly trying to produce.

Rarely do sequels work as well as it does with “Happy Death Day 2U.” Blumhouse Productions continues to surprise with their brand of genre films.

CAVE CREEK – Cave Creek Museum (CCM) in collaboration with Desert Foothills Library (DFL) welcomes master sculptor and painter Oreland C. Joe as a guest lecturer on February 28, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

“New Mexico artist Oreland C. Joe, renowned for his works in stone and bronze sculptures, offers a unique vision of Northern Plains Indians with his interpretations of ledger art in a contemporary, but also historic, context,” said Karrie Porter Brace, Cave Creek Museum Executive Director stated.

The lecture “Native American Ledger Art with Oreland C. Joe,” will be held at 7:00pm - 8:30pm, at Desert Foothills Library in downtown Cave Creek located at 38443 N. Schoolhouse Road.

“My goal is to decipher the importance of ledger art and also present it in a new way that hasn’t been seen before,” Joe explained.

Joe is the featured artist of the 2019 Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market.

His artwork can be found in private, corporate and museum collections in the United States and internationally.

As a Southern Ute Tribal Historian, he takes great pride in bringing history to life.

“I want to use ledger as a way to frame these historic stories, but to do it in a new way and at the highest possible level of quality,” he said.

The Southern Ute and Navajo artist is the first Native American to become a member of the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America.

While Joe’s artwork has a contemporary edge, he says it is “filled with symbols and story,” all of which is heavily researched and catalogued The origin and catalyst of Joe’s ledger work is rooted in the history of Cheyenne warrior Yellow Nose, whose ledger book from the late 1800s, along with his brother-in-law Spotted Wolf proved to be influential.

“Yellow Nose’s trajectory through the West inspired some of the most treasured ledger images ever created,” according to Joe. Joe’s initial research into Yellow Nose’s life and works led to a lengthy and ongoing investigation into ledger art of the Northern Plains.

His research covered the years from 1820 to 1895, in the regions of both the northern and southern plains, with tribes including Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux. This indepth research directly inspired Joe’s new works.

While the artist continues to search for more historical information, his presentation offers insights into what he has already learned, from ledger art to the Northern Plains, followed by a discussion about his own journey as a sculptor and painter.

Admission to “Native American Ledger Art with Oreland C. Joe” is free.

SCOTTSDALE – Reian Williams is painting daily under the 44,000-square foot tent at the Arizona Fine Art Expo, but in a few months, he could be painting Hollywood’s biggest stars and their families.

That’s because Williams is the featured artist for the 2019 “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bags at the Oscars on February 24, in Los Angeles, Calif.

All Academy Award nominees who do not win an Oscar will receive an “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bag. This year, the bags will feature a certificate for a commissioned

painting by Williams that is worth up to $10,000.

Artists from all over the world submit their work to be accepted into the bags. This is his third consecutive year being featured, a feat no other artist, or gift, has ever accomplished at the Oscars.

A self-taught artist, Williams is best described as a master of emotive realism for his ability to capture his subjects’ emotions.

“Art is an emotion,” Williams said. “Whether it is from the artist or the viewer, it is meant to convey a message.”

In addition to being included in the gift bags, Williams will

display a large painting in the Academy Awards' Gift Room where nominees receive their “Everyone Wins” gift bag.

The painting, “Unify in Strength, Resurrection will Come,” focuses on women’s empowerment, and a high-quality Giclee print will be exhibited.

Art enthusiasts can see the original “Unify in Strength, Resurrection will Come” painting at the Arizona Fine Art Expo, where Williams is painting daily through March 24. The oil on canvas painting measures 48-incheswide by 60-inches-high, and is available for sale.

Williams has one of 124 patron-friendly studios at the fine art show. Attendees are given the rare chance to meet the artists, see them in action, and learn about their passion, inspiration and techniques.

An Oklahoma resident, Williams is in the Valley for three months participating in the Expo for the first time.

While the fine art show features many local and regional artists, some artists have traveled from as far away as Israel, Zimbabwe, Russia, Korea, Mexico, Holland, China, Canada, Peru and throughout the United States to participate in the show.

The expo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the festive white tents located at 26540 N. Scottsdale Road, on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Jomax Roads next to MacDonald’s Ranch. Season passes for the Arizona Fine Art EXPO cost $10. Seniors and military can purchase a season pass for $8 and children 12 and younger are free. Parking is free.

Catching your heart

BY SHEA STANFIELD ARTS COLUMNIST

“Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart,” an ancient Native American reflection.

The exquisite Native American portraits by local artist Sharon Brening attract the viewer’s attention before asking for their hearts.

Sharon’s romance with vast Southwest landscapes and its indegenious people began as a child when her family relocated to Arizona.

Her photographer father would lead the family on adventurous treks through the windswept vistas of Monument Valley, the spiritual silence of Canyon de Chelly and the splendid grandeur of the Grand Canyon.

Often their journeys lead them to local trading posts where small Sharon was immersed in the vibrancy of the surrounding native cultures.

She watched her father respectfully photograph babies in their cradleboards, observed wooden wagons drawn by teams of horses or mules carrying families.

Even as young as she was Sharon picked up that the rhythm of life on the reservation was very different from her own.

Her mother enrolled her in a watercolor class at the age of 10. The medium became

her way of expressing her deep reverence for the life of the Native people she met and wanted to better understand.

She would spend countless hours drawing and painting, perfecting her skills with a desire to share what she saw and felt with others.

One of her early works is of a small Native American girl with a pot on her head, which hangs in her studio to remind her of those early days.

Today, Sharon journeys back to Arizona’s Navajo land, the Hopi Pueblos and the high mesa villages of New Mexico.

She has developed long lasting friendships with the families whose children she has painted portraits of over the years. Sharon is proud to share that a portion of every portrait sold compensates the family that has so generously invited her into their lives.

Following in her father’s footsteps Sharon uses photography to capture her models unique personalities, clothing styles and the moods of the environment in which they live.

She returns to her studio with a wealth of images in preparation for her finished work. Each weekday Sharon is in her studio working for hours on a number of paintings.

She describes herself as, “A

traditional realist painter. I feel compelled to continue painting the stories of people that I have come to know as friends and help preserve their rich heritage."

It’s not unusual for her to have four or five artworks going at the same time.

She uses techniques of the old masters, painting and glazing layer after layer, which adds richness, depth and vibrancy to the subject.

Her subjects are rendered so skillfully the viewer feels as if the subject could walk right out of the canvas to greet them.

Sharon is a member of the Western Artists of America and was honored with a solo exhibition in 2010 at the Pearce Western Art Museum in Corsicana, Texas. Her work now has a place in their permanent collection.

She received two Awards of Excellence from the American Plain’s Artist show at the Museum of the Southwest in Midland, Texas and recently had a painting purchased that will hang in Scottsdale's Museum of the West.

She also became the first woman to win the prestigious Gold Medal Award for oil painting at the Annual Western Artists of America Show and Sale in Texas.

"I strive to capture the spirit of the essence of each model I paint. The beauty we are surrounded with each new day inspires me," she said. "I’m currently working on expanding my art work venue to include what I call Imaginative Realism, which is so exciting!”

Sharon is participating in the Arizona Fine Art Expo, happening now through March 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (arizonafineartexpo.com).

or along the frontage road to Happy Valley Road.

ADOT has worked with the city of Phoenix to develop local detour routes. Businesses and schools in the area south of Pinnacle Peak Road and east of I-17 will remain accessible via 19th Avenue.

The Pinnacle Peak drainage culvert replacement is part of ADOT’s $50 million I-17 project that will reconstruct the interchanges at Happy Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads. Work started in November 2018 and is scheduled for completion by fall 2020.

The project is funded through the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.

Funding sources include a regional half-cent sales tax for transportation projects as well as the Phoenix region’s share of federal highway funds.

ADOT will maintain access to I-17 and the frontage roads from eastbound Pinnacle Peak Road (west of I-17); however many drivers in the area must use alternate routes during the closure that will add extra time to their daily commutes.

Drivers who use eastbound Pinnacle Peak Road to cross I-17 from west to east or to access 19th Avenue can use southbound 35th Avenue to eastbound Deer Valley Road to 19th Avenue.

Drivers can then use northbound 19th Avenue to reach Pinnacle Peak Road east of I-17.

•

Businesses and schools located south of Pinnacle Peak Road between I-17 and 23rd Avenue will be accessible from 19th Avenue. ADOT advises drivers who frequent this area to expect heavy traffic and allow extra travel time. Watch for law enforcement directing and monitoring traffic at Pinnacle Peak Road and 23rd Avenue during the first week of the closure as drivers get accustomed to the temporary detour route.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
