As new casino is built, Chandler officials look to ensure commuters are safe abc15
CHANDLER, AZ — It is a stretch of East Valley road where too many drivers are pushing the speed limit and taking risks.
"I usually take my dog out for about a mile and then I'll drop her back off at the house," she explained."And then, I head back out and just kind of last however long I can.""It's a little intimidating and there's a lot going on," Poole said about the casino construction near Hunt Highway and Gilbert Road. Poole said she has changed her morning walking and running route since the latest Gila River Indian Community Casino began work.
She does not believe casinos are a bad thing and she is thinking positively about the development and job opportunities for her neighbors.She is the city of Chandler's Transportation Engineer. Alvidrez is not using luck to determine what traffic may look like in the area once the casino starts taking in players. She explained, the Gila River Indian Community did a study with some of their existing casinos for them.
One of the improvements her team knows will be coming is removing the four-way stop at Hunt Highway and Gilbert Road. They will add in a traffic signal instead."That would give me... definitely a better sense of safety and knowing that the drivers are a little more aware of what's going on at that intersection because there's a lot of traffic," said Poole.
