TUCSON, ARIZONA - The City of Tucson’s demolition crew demolished the former Burger King on the northeast corner of Grant and Alvernon Way on Thursday. The City will be widening the intersection as part of the Grant Road Widening project.
Similar to other phases of this project, the design will include additional travel lanes, new and wider sidewalks, more signalized crosswalks, improved bicycle lanes, and enhanced landscaping will improve both the pedestrian and bicyclist use and the appearance of Grant Road. A median and managed access to businesses will improve safety, and will provide a safer and easier way to get to and from residences and businesses in congested areas. Additionally, indirect left turns will be constructed at Alvernon.
The Northgate Plaza Shopping Center here is negotiating with another national restaurant brand to lease the site to build a new concept, up to 3,600 square feet with drive thru lane(s). The Walmart Marketplace anchored center draws constant daily traffic with 63,200 vehicles per day going home and going to work traffic flow.
Nancy McClure with CBRE in Tucson has the leasing assignment for this project. McClure can be reached at 520. 323.5117, to learn more.
