Sunset, Greythorn & Wildflower Owners,

Starting Wednesday, July 17, MR Tanner will begin milling/ removing the asphalt on the southbound lane of SMD (Superstition Mountain Drive). As SMD is the only access to your village, there will be potential traffic delays during this process.

Two weeks later, on August 2, MR Tanner will begin paving the purple section of the road as marked on the map below.

See below for access planning for July 17 and August 2. Please read the information below, and the project notice provided by Frank Civil Consulting so you are fully prepared for the paving day on August 2.

Please contact the Association office if you have any questions,

Alex Wright, CMCA, CAAM

Interim Community Manager, Superstition Mountain

July 17 - Milling

Access will not be restricted completely during the milling process. However, due to Village access coming off SMD, entering or exiting during the process may be met with delays while the equipment is in the road.

August 2 - Paving

Access will be restricted entirely for 24 hours beginning the morning of August 2 through the morning of August 3 (assuming no weather delays). During this time, vehicular access into and out of the village will be blocked entirely. 

To facilitate residential access during this 24-hour time frame, see below parking areas (gold stars) outside the paving area. These areas are a medium walk.

Parking

If you are planning to be on property on August 2 AND need to enter or exit in your vehicle when access is restricted in your village, please plan ahead to park in one of the designated locations. Moving your vehicles to these locations may need to occur 48 hours in advance, or early morning on August 2. Because the opposite northbound lane is being paved the day prior, shuffling cars should occur after barriers are removed from the red section, and before paving begins.

Sunset Village Owners

You may park in the cul-de-sac in First Water, across from your village entrance.

Greythorn Village Owners

You may park in the Agronomy staging area across from your village entrance. Due to activity from the Golf Club greens project, and staging for the paving project, please use caution when in this area.

Wildflower Estates Owners

You may park along the street in Prospector Village, across from your village entrance. Please be considerate and do not block driveways, mailboxes, etc.

If I am not in Gold Canyon / won't be in the property on August 2, is there anything I need to do for this project?

No. If you are not in the community, and will not require vehicular access to your home on August 2, there is nothing additional you need to do.

Friday, August 2 is trash and recycle pickup day - are accommodations being made?

Yes. We have spoken with RAD / Waste Connections of Arizona, and MR Tanner. You can place your refuse and recycle out as normal on Thursday, August 1, and they will be picked up first thing Friday morning. After trash collection is complete, MR Tanner will begin the milling process.
