FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff and its contractor, Eagle Mountain Construction, are proud to announce the completion of the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project. This project included lowering and replacing utilities along Grandview and full street reconstruction to install new curbs, gutters, and inverted asphalt to better channel floodwaters. This is the first of a series of planned flood mitigation projects as part of the Spruce Wash suite of projects.
Flagstaff Mayor Becky Daggett said “the completion of the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project is a reason to celebrate and a significant step toward mitigating post-wildfire flooding in this area. Thank you to the residents who voted for Prop 441, giving the city the necessary funding, to city staff for their dedication, and to all the impacted residents for their patience. Together, we’ll keep making progress toward making flood-impacted neighborhoods safer.”
With the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project complete, crews will continue working on subsequent flood mitigation projects in the area. Linda Vista Drive will continue to be closed to all vehicular traffic until spring 2025, with the closure area shifting slightly as needed. Pedestrian and bicyclist access will be maintained throughout construction. The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as work continues to complete these important flood mitigation projects. The City is committed to finishing the Spruce Wash suite of projects by summer 2026.
It is important to note that even though the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project is complete, flood risk still remains along Grandview Drive and surrounding areas. Impacted residents are advised to mitigate to the interim conditions map that was released in April 2024, and place sandbags close to the home and not along the roadway. Residents can call the service request line at 928-213-2102 for an engineering estimate or to request sandbags.
