PROJECT BACKGROUND AND STUDY AREA
This study is funded by the Arizona Department of Transportation Multimodal Planning Division
(ADOT) Planning Assistance for Rural Areas (PARA) program. The purpose of this study was to
evaluate pedestrian safety concerns and evaluate pedestrian infrastructure needs on the Gila River
Indian Community (GRIC or Community) and recommend a program of multimodal enhancements to
address the identified needs. Recommended improvement projects include sidewalks/shared-use
paths, bus stops/turnouts, culvert replacement and new culverts, and other infrastructure to support
the Community’s long-term safety goals. Planning-level cost estimates for each proposed
enhancement were developed and potential funding sources have been identified.
The study area consists of areas within the seven Districts that make up the Community. The study
areas are shown in Figure 1.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
This study resulted in a plan for implementing improved pedestrian facilities for short-, mid -, and
long-range planning horizons. The Multimodal Pedestrian Safety Study will also be used by other
Community Government departments or Community Districts involved in land use planning and
infrastructure improvements in support of pedestrian safety. The study will be used to identify and
support funding for projects.

STUDY OBJECTIVES
Key objectives of the improvements recommended are:
v Provide a safer environment for walkers and bicyclists.
v Expand travel options by providing more non-motorized infrastructure options.
v Provide drainage improvements in areas with high pedestrian activity to make it easier for
persons to walk safely.
v Provide improved safety through provision of street lighting.

PROCESS OVERVIEW
Early work efforts resulted in the development of multimodal pedestrian safety needs that were
established from:
v Guidance provided in the Seven Districts Master Plans - the District Master plans provided the
overall vision for pedestrian improvements in each District.
v Review of crash data for pedestrian and bicycle crashes.
v Review of previous studies such as the Arizona Department of Transportation Pedestrian
Safety Action Plan, and the Gila River Indian Community Indian Community Transportation
Study (2011).
v Pedestrian counts collected at selected locations in each District.

Gila River Indian Community Multimodal Pedestrian Safety Study

v Characteristics of each road, including geometric features, traffic volumes, right-of-way,
access, functional classification, and pavement condition.
v Understanding the locations of activity centers and areas where people were walking to and
from.
v An extensive outreach effort that included discussions with numerous stakeholders including
school district transportation staff, members of the public, elder, and youth groups.
v Study Technical Advisory Committee and Project Management Team input and reviews.
These data and input were used to develop a prioritized plan of improvements. The process involved
the following steps:
v Developing draft improvements for each District study area and a preliminary prioritization.
v Reviewing these projects at a working session with Project Management Team, and then
presenting draft improvement projects to the Technical Advisory Committee.
v Revising the proposed improvement projects based on review comments.
v Presenting the projects to the Gila River Indian Community Natural Resources Standing
Committee and Tribal Council and the Community’s general public.
v Finalizing the improvement project recommendations, based on all input.

PROJECT OUTREACH
Project outreach was an important element of the project and was conducted in a number of different
ways: through individual meetings and phone calls with police and fire department staff, District
Service Center representatives, school district transportation staff, and others. Because of their
knowledge of transportation needs and the road system, these stakeholders provided a unique
perspective on pedestrian safety needs.
Other ways that input on pedestrian safety needs was obtained included presentations at District
Community meetings, a booth at the Gila River Indian Community Mul-Chu-Tha Fair, meetings with the
Youth Council and Elder Council, and discussions with Gila River Indian Community Departments’ staff.
Presentations were made to the Natural Resources Standing Committee and the Tribal Council at key
points during the study.
Two rounds of open houses were conducted for the study. The first mobile open house was conducted
at five locations throughout the Community on Friday, March 28, 2014. Locations included the
Governance Center, Gila River Health Care, Sacaton Super Mart, Komatke Chevron, and the Komatke
Boys & Girls Club. The mobile open house allowed for Community members to learn more about the
study, ask questions, and provide input on needed improvements throughout the community. In total,
30 members of the Community signed-in at the various locations.
The second round of public involvement was held at two locations in the Community on Tuesday,
August 5, 2014. Locations included the Governance Center and the Komatke Boys & Girls Club. The
open house allowed for community members to learn more and provide feedback on the
recommended pedestrian safety and transportation improvements that are a result of input from the
first round of public involvement. In total, six members of the community signed-in at the two

3

Gila River Indian Community Multimodal Pedestrian Safety Study

locations but a larger number were present and chose not to sign in. After the meeting, displays and
surveys were made available at District offices and a number of survey responses were received.

RECOMMENDED PROJECTS AND PRIORITIZATION
The transportation improvement projects recommended will address critical pedestrian and bicycle
safety needs. Projects are shown in Figures 2 through 8. A tabular summary of short-, mid-, and longrange projects, by District, are provided in Tables 1-7. These tables also include a project prioritization
score. Using these criteria as guidance, points were assigned in each of these categories, and then
assigned to one of three priorities, based on total points:
Short-term improvements scored between 30 and 35 points and are those that can be implemented
in the next two to five years, and with generally low cost. Improvement projects that may have the
potential to be constructed with a previously programmed improvement are also included in this time
frame.
Mid-term improvements scored between 25 and 29 points and are more complex and may require
more planning time or may need to be submitted to a funding program. The time frame for these
projects is generally 5 to 10 years.
Long-term projects scored between 20 and 24 points and are the most complex, may involve right-ofway acquisition or environmental constraints, and frequently cost the most. These projects generally
are in the 10 to 20 year time frame.
The prioritization criteria included the following elements:
v Sidewalk availability
v Crossing opportunities

v Supports safety in walking to school,
biking, or taking the school bus.
v Improves health and wellness by
making it easier to walk or bike.
v Connects activity centers

v Number of pedestrian crashes in five
year period
v Traffic speeds
v Traffic volumes

v Provides improved multimodal
connections
v Complexity of design – for example, is
new ROW required, or environmental
issues to be addressed

v Project cost (2014 dollars)
v Addresses recommendations from the
District Master Plan
v Creates a more comfortable, safe
environment for pedestrians or
bicyclists
v Improves drainage and/or reduces
flooding for walkers

v Coordinates with a planned
improvement in the Tribal
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
or Long Range Plan

It should be emphasized that as funding becomes available, or implementation opportunities arise,
prioritization can change over time.
In addition to the District projects, an abandoned Union Pacific railroad line has potential to be
developed as a regional trail that could potentially span a large area, encompassing areas in Districts 1,
2, and 4. Rail paths are multi-purpose public paths created from former railroad corridors. The
abandoned rail line location is shown in Figure 9. Although not specifically within any of the study

4

Gila River Indian Community Multimodal Pedestrian Safety Study

areas boundaries, this abandoned rail line has the potential to become a pedestrian resource for the
entire Reservation area.

POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES
Potential funding sources for the multimodal pedestrian safety projects were identified. The Tribal
Transportation Program is a potential funding source for many recommended projects; however
funding for the program is limited, and participating in the program requires an understanding of the
program process and coordination requirements with the Gila River Indian Community Department of
Transportation. Other potential funding sources, available through a variety of agencies, are provided
in the final report.
