Rio
Salado South Bank Multi-Use Path
The Rio Salado South Bank Multi-Use Path Project will
extend the linear park and pathway system in the Rio Salado area from Hardy
Drive/Tempe Arts Center to Priest Drive. It will provide path linkages on
the south bank to Priest and Hardy drives, the Town Lake downstream dam, the
Tempe Arts Center and other portions of the Town Lake and Rio Salado Park.
The project involves coordination with the Tempe Arts Center and a
rehabilitation/re-vegetation project in the Salt River channel and banks.
The project involves creating a half-mile concrete, lighted and landscaped
path facility with a public art element. This project is currently under
construction.
