    Flagstaff AZ (March 9, 2017) – A federal project improving safety and traffic flow along State Route 89A between the Flagstaff area and Oak Creek Canyon requires daytime restrictions on weekdays and, starting later this month, overnight closures.

    The work, performed by the Office of Federal Lands Highway under an Arizona Department of Transportation permit, is adding right-turn and passing lanes and wider shoulders along eight miles between the Vista Point Overlook and JW Powell Boulevard just south of Flagstaff. Crews also are flattening side slopes to improve a recovery zone allowing drivers to regain control of vehicles that leave the roadway.

    While the project continues until the fall, SR 89A will be reduced to one lane on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Flaggers and a pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone.

    Starting March 20, this stretch will be closed nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

    Interstate 17 to and from State Route 179 is an alternate route at night and for those wishing to avoid work-related delays on weekdays.

    There will be no daytime restrictions on weekends or major holidays, and there will be no overnight restrictions on major holidays.

    The work continues a project that began last year. More information is available at azdot.gov/89a.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
