    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (June 3, 2019) – At the May 29, 2019, council meeting, council members directed staff to proceed with another Sedona in Motion project, the Forest Road extension, and chose Design Option 1. The council also directed that the design include a sidewalk and bike lane, or shared-use bike/walk pathway.

    A 2018 survey of Uptown residents found 78 percent supported building the extension. It will allow Uptown residents to bypass the two roundabouts at Brewer/Ranger roads and the Y, and serve as an additional access / egress route for emergency responders and emergency evacuation. When the extension is completed vehicles will use a left-turn lane on northbound SR89A to enter Forest Road west of the post office. When exiting Forest Road at that location only right turns will be permitted onto southbound 89A. 

    Purpose of the extension

    • Gives Uptown residents a way to bypass two busy roundabouts, reducing traffic in those roundabouts.
    • Provides additional access to emergency responders; serves as an additional evacuation route.
    • Provides an additional off-highway walk/bike connection between Uptown and West Sedona.

    Images of the road design Option 1 selected by city council are posted on the Forest Road web page.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
