A Note from Supervisor Archuleta
|
|
Greetings District 2 Residents,
I hope that you all are staying safe and healthy during this time. I want to thank you all for doing your best to adjust to the many changes we are going through as a community. I know this has not been an easy time, but I want to assure you that all of us at Coconino County are working tirelessly on your behalf to ensure the safety of our community.
This upcoming week, we will be switching our daily newsletter schedule to offer some consistency and variety in terms of what we share. Our goal is to continue to keep you informed, while also ensuring that we are providing information that benefits your health and well-being. Next week, my daily newsletter will follow the following schedule:
- Monday’s and Wednesday’s: Information about COVID-19, best practices, and County updates.
- Tuesday’s and Thursday’s: Resources for the community including rental assistance, information on small businesses, resources offered by Coconino County, County updates, etc.
- Friday’s: Activities and resources for the community and families geared towards social distancing fun and well-being during this time.
As always, if there is an crucial information that needs to be shared, we will continue to keep you informed. We will also continue to share the COVID-19 Daily Dashboard, but via a hyperlink on days that are not COVID-19 specific, in an effort to give your mental health a break from solely COVID-19 information.
As usual, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office. We are here to serve you during this time.
I hope you all enjoy the beautiful weather we are currently experiencing (within safety parameters) and that you have a wonderful and restorative weekend.
In community,
Liz Archuleta,
Chair of the Board of Supervisors and
Supervisor of District 2

PHOENIX – As the project to replace the Fourth Street bridge over Interstate 40 in Flagstaff continues, the Arizona Department of Transportation will close the bridge from Monday, April 27, to Wednesday, April 29, while crews install new drainage pipe.
The full closure will be in place around the clock from 6 a.m. Monday to 6 p.m. Wednesday. Drivers heading south on Fourth Street can use Huntington Drive and Industrial Drive north of the work zone. Drivers heading north on Fourth Street can use Butler Avenue and Soliere Avenue south of the work zone.
Access for emergency vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians will remain during the closure.
Drivers should allow extra travel time through the area.
The Fourth Street bridge, which is currently one lane in each direction, is being replaced with a wider bridge offering two lanes in each direction, a center turn lane and a protected path for bicycles and pedestrians on one side and a sidewalk on the other.
The project should be completed by winter.
